Most people follow the line of least resistance, so they will prefer to choose the role of the victim, they will be static, they will only react to what is happening around them and they will not want to initiate a new event. On the stage of life, they prefer to sit in the audience rather than play on the boards, while paying attention to the consequences rather than the causes. The victims mostly suffer, but if they decide to take matters into their own hands, destiny will largely be as they cut it themselves. If you want to be happy in life, you need to get out of the world of reaction and move into the world of action.
