> I guess your righteousness is greater than your reading comprehension I think that's a more appropriate criticism to levy against you. Whatever you dealt with, things could have always been worse. No man is an island, and you could only do what you did because there were opportunities around you. If they didn't work out, or they weren't present, or if you went for them, and got bitten for worse than you gained, you could have well ended up back in that shitty environment, homeless, or dead, or in prison. Sometimes shit just happens, and is too much to deal with. Sometimes the effort required to get out is greater than any one person can put in. There's no shortage of bums living under the I-5 overpass who also had great plans for leaving their shitty town, and making a better life in the big city. They all have two things on common - nobody they could lean on when things went to shit, and things going to shit for them. When you're born in a shitty environment, the first box gets checked for you at birth, and any man only has partial control over the second one. Tell me your life story, and I'll happily throw a 'but, what if...' that, had it gone the other way, could have put you under that overpass. The world isn't some deterministic puzzle where if you make the right moves, everything will work out. Sometimes, you can do everything right, and still lose in the short-term. People who have safety buffers to fall back on can bounce back from that. People who don't get to move to that overpass.
