Yes, the unsettling nature of the choice holds us back. There is an ideal that we want equality, but truthfully there is still separation. If the collective truly wanted equality, it would have happened by now. At this moment, it is just a warm fuzzy feeling that brings self-comfort in believing that they embody a certain amount of good within them. Truthfully however, they are caught up in making the sacrifice of putting others ahead of themselves, so they continue to indulge in the self and sit on the fence of inaction.
You can take a kind-hearted person that values their moral authenticity, but as soon as you mention self-sacrifice or the necessity of cutting into their level of comfort for the collective they immediately become defensive.
