The Cost of Inaction in the Information Age
In the current environment, the ease of accessing services and entertainment has led to a rise in the rationalization of inaction. With comforts like streaming services and food delivery at low costs, people may find it less necessary to seek new challenges or improve their circumstances.

Consequently, this trend dilutes the motivation to push for personal growth or achieve greater goals.
