People are lazy by default. It is probably a protection mechanism from ancient times, to conserve energy and only use it for the important tasks, to last between two meals, when they got lucky hunting.
Nowadays, we generally do things because they are routine, because we have to or because we enjoy them.
Routine never helps us evolve, other than maybe in efficiency. That leaves the other two: evolving, changing, because you have to or because you enjoy it.
Of course, the change can be both ways: from parasite to contributor or even change makers, or vice versa.
But I'm thinking more in terms of the positive transition here.
Generated with Venice AI. Hmm, reached my daily limit today without an account... I was wondering where it was...
The best way to evolve is when you enjoy it. When you have a vision, if the word isn't too big for most people, and work toward it and enjoy seeking ways to progress toward seeing it achieved.
The other way is because you have to. Throw a human being into various challenges and you'll see and they'll see what they are made of. What they are capable of achieving in a short while if they have no choice (or bad alternatives).
Our capacity of adaptation to changing conditions is amazing. I sort of experienced it myself in recent weeks as I had a crash course in home cooking - could be useful too in the future. But most people only react to extreme stimuli to change or as a heard mentality because everyone around does it. Otherwise, we prefer the coziness of the routine. The lazy way because... it conserves energy.
Enjoy your Saturday!
