There is a disturbing trend I'm seeing these days (and maybe it isn't a new trend, but just that I am finally opening my eyes to it, or that recently I've been in the situations to see more of it)

People are not taking responsibility for themselves in an alarming amount of different capacities. And, in addition to the abovementioned multitude of capacities, THEY are also taking less personal responsibility in each situation; relying more and more on Fate, and God, and Society, and trendy new Quick Fixes, and The Easy Way Out, and Irrational Spirituality to coddle them throughout life.

And if that weren't enough by itself - THEY are angry when these remedies fail to yield the results they expect (long for).
