IF THERE IS NO STRUGGLE;THERE IS NO PROGRESS

Compare today versus the day when there were no machines but the humans effort and work was the only tool to proceed forward and get results. There struggle was real and its the result of our ancestors and forefathers that we are at ease that much today.
The meaning and nature of struggle by the time and as the life flows. Mankind has become more relaxed and lazy than yesterday. Today's population wants instant and demanded results without burning their ass. And as a result what they get is disappointment most of the time. Then they make lame claims and excuses and put all of the shit on others to show why the failed. But they forget that the struggle was no where.
The general sentiment of mankind is that a man who will not fight for himself, when he has the means of doing so, is not worth being fought for by others, and this sentiment is just. For a man who does not value freedom for himself will never value it for others, or put himself to any inconvenience to gain it for others. Such a man, the world says, may lie down until he has sense enough to stand up. It is useless and cruel to put a man on his legs, if the next moment his head is to be brought against a curbstone. A man of that type will never lay the world under any obligation to him, but will be a moral pauper, a drag on the wheels of society, and if he too be identified with a peculiar variety of the race he will entail disgrace upon his race as well as upon himself. The world in which we live is very accommodating to all sorts of people. It will cooperate with them in any measure which they propose; it will help those who earnestly help themselves, and will hinder those who hinder themselves. It is very polite, and never offers its services unasked. Its favors to individuals are measured by an unerring principle in this—viz., respect those who respect themselves, and despise those who despise themselves. It is not within the power of unaided human nature to persevere in pitying a people who are insensible to their own wrongs and indifferent to the attainment of their own rights. The poet was as true to common sense as to poetry when he said,
