Humans are adaptable, if we were not we'd not have thrived like a plague as we have. Anyway, we tend to get used to a situation and work around it where possible I guess and that means with temperature, space, light or noise also. Having said that, we also have preference and choice so can work towards finding the right situation for us as individuals.
I wonder how many are content with their living arrangements and location...and how many actively work towards a set goal of affecting change.
Of course we can adapt, but life is short, so if you could choose your ideal location, would be better. And I agree with you on wondering how many are working towards achieving their goals. For many it is easier to just complain and blame others, posting as a victim, rather than take matters into their hands and change the situation.
Blame seems to be the default thing for many people these days, it might work to get around their own shortcomings in their minds, but in reality it doesn't get a person very far.
My thoughts exactly.
