It has to start with admitting that there is something wrong with our system. A system that discourages progressive thinking is definitely a system that pulls a society backwards if not at status quo.
One may argue on the word "progressive". Allow me to clarify my definition of "progressive", and for *starters*, it should not be solely about materialistic gains. Materialistic gains would be but a mere bonus, provided it be gained righteously. I meant progressiveness in a form of humanity. Simply put, 'It is not about what a man makes for himself, but what he makes out of himself'.
Serving humanity may require a stronghold in Science, Mathematics, Philosophy, Economy for example of course armed with good morals that even atheists can recognize, one's religion is secondary for that.
Those people who just do the complaining stuff, must learn not to just be contented with just getting by but need to strive for betterment towards contributing something good to humanity as a whole. Imagine what impact the person who came up with the Tuberculosis drug has on humanity, or on telecommunications such as the artificial intelligence which resulted in well, Blogger, Facebook or Twitter partly!!
You and I are able to communicate, share and exchange ideas like what we are doing now. Isn't the Search Engines such as Google a blessing for human knowledge???!! It blows my mind to think that we can Google anything, anywhere, anytime and now it's in the palm of our hands!!
And who are the people who came up with all this? Who are the people who had the liberty and freedom of the minds that enabled them to become more creative to come up with these inventions? Are they the people who are bothered about trivial matters that will dampen their likeliness to succeed in whatever they strive for?

Free your minds. Until and only until we realize that our minds belong to the authorities/countries with their own personal agendas, and until we strive to free them, we shall forever get stuck in this brain refuge. A Matrix, prepared for us since childhood in the forms of racism, nationalism, sexism, and all other -isms that tries to put one human to be superior to another, as many in 1940s Germany would shout, "Hail Hitler !".
