What am I going to do about it? Put up with it ...
I'm not pointing fingers at you, just making an observation. Your logic is skewed and conclusions thereby flawed, but that's your
paradigm. You're seeing a very narrow view of the world. The scenario that you paint is incomplete, but I do understand that from your point of view, those are the "only options."
Most people only see the options of quitting or putting up with it. It's sad, but that's the depent attitude that this society produces. There are many, many other options. Frequently we don't know about them. Others are seen as too troublesome due to lack of education. Yes, there are also people who are lazy and would rather roll over than take responsibility for their life. Sure they may "take care" of their family and lead "good" lives, but that is by default, not by deliberate action.
Like I said, I'm not pointing any fingers at you. I'm just pointing out that we don't have to act live victims, shrug our shoulders, and let principle float down the sewer. When we actually apply our brains to a situation, our eyes will be opened to possibilities that we never imagined existed. They were there all along. That takes effort, but getting in the habit will affect every part of our lives.
When we react, we lose in the long term despite immediate convenience. When we act, we lay the foundation for long-term prosperity (dependent on our commitment to the other principles of propsperity).
Thus the question, "what are you going to do about it?" It may be small, it may be big, but
act. Avoiding the question is a decision to choose the path of least resistance.
When there's an aparent conflict of principles, check your premesis.
Principles govern in the long term.
