So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life

of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future.

It depends on the individual. Some value their safety, their achievements, what they have built in their life (even if nothing is really safe here) and others are more risky
The problem is when someone is afraid but would like to change and have the means for it, and doesn't do it.

@SW-User it depends on the context really. Life is very unstable and changing to say something is really "safe". Spiritual growth comes in different ways.

@SW-User lots of it comes from the realization of acceptance of situations that you can't change and make the best of them. Other times it's about learning from others... Others are about trying different alternatives. It's not always just one way for it.
