Becoming complacent with the status quo, even when we can recognize the inequality, the injustice and the suffering it brings to the majority of the world is never the only option, and it is never the right answer: When asked what must be done, one replies simply with what must be done.
For centuries, Feudalism -- the exchange of labour and life for land -- was accepted and practiced. The ruling class exploited peasants and enslaved them through means of serfdom.
In France, that changed when Bastille was stormed. In France, the actions and unrest of the citizens brought down the tyranny.
Or at least, readily postponed it.
Why is it then, that we have brought back serfdom in this time and accept it readily -- perhaps we are not enslaved by bonds to the nobility, but instead it is the banks who hold the lives of the people and debt that chains their wrists. Why do we allow for a system which exploits the majority and become complacent when it is in our very responsibility to stop this.
No man is free while he be in another's debt for what is rightfully his. There is no celebration in Bastille Day so long as the policies of oppression which we meant to strangle still loom above us as they always have.
