It is only the minority of people who seek self-improvement or personal growth. This is because whatever one's self-criticisms, one secretly really believes that one's way of being is okay and probably the only correct one. They are alright as they are, and all problems are caused by other people's selfishness, unfairness, and by the external world.

Summary

This quote suggests that a majority of individuals refuse to engage in self-improvement or personal growth because they hold a deep belief that their current way of being is sufficient and perhaps even superior. This mindset often stems from the idea that any problems or shortcomings they face are primarily caused by external factors, such as selfishness or unfairness in others and the world around them. Consequently, they do not feel the need to examine themselves critically or seek personal growth as they believe that others and external circumstances are to blame for any difficulties they encounter.
