Why would you write most sentences in the active voice

The Active voice is clear and direct, emphasizes the subject and helps the reader to pay more attention, improving the quality of a written work. The active voice gives energy to a sentence and maintains focus of the reader on a single point. In the Passive voice is different: the emphasis is on the action or the object, while the subject is not known or is not important.
