Do we need to be more proactive?

Tweet

I feel that as a society we've started to set back and life just "happen" to us. Maybe this is due to more of us working in monotonous jobs, or perhaps we don't mind not having an active role in events as it ensures if something does go wrong it isn't our fault. Or maybe we are proactive just in different ways. What do you think? http://purpleslinky.com/humor/the-midnight-beast/
