'Comfortable Conformity' with Rickson Gracie

This to me is an all too familiar issue. Actually, it might only become an issue once you become aware of it, that is, it may only piss you off once you have discovered it as is the case so often. However, once you are aware of it, there may also be a possibility of enhancing the situation. Recently, the great Jiu-Jitsu masters Rickson Gracie and Eddie Bravo joined the JRE (Joe Rogan Experience) for an awesome podcast. Towards the end, Rickson mentioned a very interesting observation on society. He stated that in the past he considered cowardice to be the opposite of courage. Today however, he considers conformity to be the opposite. He went on to say that people are too afraid to change certain things, even though they do not like their current situation, like staying at a job you despise because you are afraid you won't find a new one, or staying in a shitty relationship because you are too afraid of possible consequences.
