Talk is cheap. Action is expensive. Expensive meaning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>If you fuck up in real life, there are real consequences. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>However when you just complain, there is really no downside. Even when you complain, nobody will punish you for complaining. Actually it seems that 99% of social circles are just complaining parties. People come together, and love to complain about x, y, z. This is why I hate talking politics; it is all about complaining, no changing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The best way to change others<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you really want to change others; lead by example (hegemon). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To change something takes more courage, guts and skill than to complain. Thus let this be our new mission statement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I will not complain. If I see something I really hate soooooo much, I will do something about it!!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>ERIC<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2
