Well, to each his/her own. I'm not a fighter type and don't think in those terms. Giving in to what? Resisting what? Such a worldview is alien to me. I don't see myself as a lonely hero fighting the system (whatever that may be). I'm part of the world and the society I live in, as faulty and imperfect as it is, and I don't think the world is any more "bad" today than it was in the past. It was bad before too, only in a different way. It's always been bad. Because humans have always been egotistical bastards.

But naturally others have different views on the matter and that's good, because otherwise nothing would ever change.
