The decay of Western civilization can be traced to a single shift…the replacement of personal responsibility with systemic excuse making.
Every “but the system,” every “I didn’t have the resources,” every appeal to circumstance is a surrender of agency. It’s the voluntary adoption of victimhood as identity.
Freedom begins the moment you stop explaining why you couldn’t and start demonstrating what you did.
