Progress for the sake of progress should be made

Frederick Douglass said “If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.” 

Is it possible for me to be in love with text? don't you think this passage explains today's society and young generations (speaking as one of them)? I think it does. Looking at people my own age, I've learned a few things, including the worrisome fact that some people expect prizes to be handed to them on a silver platter. I think innocence is the greatest limitation one can have. As a person, one should always be aware of the changing environment and situations, even if they are emotionally hard for a someone to comprehend. Being purposely innocent while refusing to accept the facts of this world limits a person's growth potential and possible understanding of LIFE.
In order to live a purposeful life,  people shouldn't protect themselves from the harms of the world, but explore it and understand the world outside each one of the bubbles we all create for ourselves. Explore, enjoy, discover, and never look back.
