I think developing discipline is a must in order to improve our condition and change things, this quote from Aristotle is a good reminder.

Aristotle thought that happiness, as in living life the right way according to him only came by practice of the soul's faculties in relation to virtue. Aristotle makes a point that this takes a lot of practice, to the point of taking an "entire life".

aristotle was a white supremacist, then? excellence is racist.
