I feel that it is the plodders who live the simple life's of home & work that hold & do much of what is needed to hold the fabric of life together. Only to be in the shadow of those living n the fast lane.
There being a division between each that the rewards go mostly to those in the fast lane.
I say that is at the heart of most of the problem we face in life around us today.
I equate that leads to the dog eat dog nature we face so much in our life's.

I know he's right! Every soldier in WWII wasn't Audie Murphy ( for those that don't know, look him up) but EVERY soldier had a part in the defeat of the Third Reich. The cooks, the medics, the nurses, the Red ball Express drivers, the sailors down in the bowels of the carriers and warships, wireless operators, and too many more to mention, both in the services and in support of the services. They were the worker ants of our society and still are today. They are the unnoticed, the unsung, the every day Joe that works to keep the big machine working.
One at a time, it doesn't seem like they do much, but add 150 million together and you get an amazing example of cooperation and a power to create and build ANYTHING that may be needed.
"They" are in the slow lane OK, but those in the fast lane pass them by in the vehicle that "they" built!

It is those that just do whats right rather than those that just talk the talk that make the difference.
Most people just do what is right.
People that know we are all in this together & together in the end we will over come tyhe messes caused by others.
It is followers that make the leaders.
The key is to lead as a follower.
By doing what is right by nature.
While you should not ignore the screw ups you do not need to accept their leadership.

It is a big wide world with wonders to be found & enjoyed.
Most things of value can be found in our own little corners around us.

Fear not the little people will one day rule their own fate.
They hold a great part of it already.
The greatness we seek is not the greatness we see around us now.

Look around & enjoy what is really there to see.
