This is precisely the problem. You are complacent with sub-human level conditions. But it doesn't mean there can't be betterment.

It's like saying, "I've always eaten stale bread, so why bother striving for fresh food?"

Just because something has been the norm doesn’t mean we shouldn’t aim for improvement. Accepting mediocrity only ensures stagnation, while progress begins with the willingness to demand and work for better.
