Are we mice or men?

I believe that a bold and courageous act change the course of history. And since there has been no such act being performed in our country or in the world in general, I conclude that we are mice. The world is crying out to be saved but the cries are falling deaf to our ears and why is that so? It’s because we’ve grown accustomed to these problems so much so that we turn a blind eye to injustices that are played out before our eyes. Granted there are a few people who did change the course of history with their courageous acts. The men who did not scamper away into their holes
Che Guevara was a Cuban revolutionary of the 19th century, a Marxist who ended the tyrannical rule of Batista. He worked under Fidel Castro who was the leader of this movement. Although he was a soldier, he was also a doctor, a philanthropist and a writer. Gandhi was another man, from India who brought his nation to his feet by means of non violent protest. What both these great men have in common was the fact that they had enough courage to stick it to the man. And in both cases the ‘man’ was the West. Even normal people can be heroes. Rosa Parks, a colored seamstress on board a bus in Montgomery Bus Alabama refused to vacate her bus seat and give it over to a white man. This act sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott which was the grounds of the Civil Rights Movement. The Civil Rights Movement was solely responsible for giving the blacks their rights in America.
If all these events did actually happen and people do have the potential to take control and bring down tyrannical rules why the hell are people around us or more specifically people in Pakistan not taking charge? Why do we sit and wait for the our current or future leader who we chose through the beautiful method that is democracy to screw us common people over? Why do we wait for them to take over so they can milk our country dry? I’ll tell you why. It’s because we are too comfortable in our little holes to come out. It would require a lot of valor, perseverance and discipline for us to achieve this and quite frankly, we have none of these qualities. We are mere mice after all. Rodents that scamper at the first of danger.
