This is how live my life
"Most of our obstacles would melt away
if, instead of cowering before them,
we should make up our minds
to walk boldly through them."
- Orison Swett Marden
But it seems as though society isn't set up that way. Rules, laws and current "norms" are designed to strongly encourage us to be non-confrontational to our problems.
Have a problem with society? Blame a sub-culture or a politician. Have a problem with your neighbors? Don't confront, ignore. Have a problem with your co-workers? Don't complain, suffer through 1/3 of your daily life.
Whatever happened to addressing your problems, confronting them before they conquer you?
Most religions want you to give your problems to someone else, yet that remove your problematic co-worker or neighbor. Politicians, both red and blue, tell you your life is in your own hands, but to call the police (or other government agnecy) when you're having problems. Even your significant other will advise you to be non-confrontational to your problems.
Why?
What's wrong with addressing that bothersome neighbor? What's wrong with telling that co-worker they're creating a work environment that's counter-productive?
Why are we supposed to ignore our obstacles or use an intermediary when dealing with them?
