It's hard to tell "less fortunate but a kind person that will be independent if given the chance" from "doesn't give a fuck and will take advantage of anything free/helpful in a destructive manner without any respect to others including those equally less fortunate or generous to him/her"
Society definitely creates the second type of people but I can't fault anyone for not wanting to put themselves in a position of vulnerability for the greater good of someone who won't appreciate it.
- ta1234567890 7y agoYou are totally right that it's a hard sell. At the same time, why "punish" everyone for the actions of a few? Also, if everyone has access to a certain benefit, it's really hard to take advantage of it in a negative way. For example you can't resell it. I feel like toilets/showers should be something like roads, ubiquitous, accessible to everyone and continuously maintained. I haven't seen people complaining about trucks/busses using the roads too much/more than them, while making money.
