In practice, a lot of bad choices aren't truly volitional; they are mainly the result of conditioning. Repeated bad choices reflect a reduced capacity to learn, which is a kind of disability. It's annoying and costly that so many people make these bad choices, but I think we still have the obligation to care for each other. I expect to make at least some bad choices and I may need help. But usually, nobody can help you as much as you can help yourself, so it's a good idea to arrange things so that people can increase their own resourcefulness and help themselves. Be grateful for how lucky you are.
