Strong Minds & Moral Failings

DAMN RIGHT!!

Pull your pants up and work hard, no blaming others, no looking for handouts and help, no I have a mental problem, no I have a drug addiction, no I have an alcoholic addiction. Gotta stay strong mentally which everyone is capable of doing and stop with the crybaby excuses & the need for coddling.

Time to change or get left behind in the dust and wither away.

I also work hard, but everything isn't about me. Like my wife, I've dedicated much of my time and energy to helping others (part of what this website is all about). I have no addictions except the love of my wife, and when I've found myself overindulging in anything, I found the mental strength to correct my behavior, yet I don't begrudge help to those who do. It's called being humane and empathetic. Part of your failings.

I don't see you as mentally strong at all. Just selfish, overconfident, sanctimonious and closed minded. Moral failings. A strong mind recognizes its shortcomings and strives to overcome them while never pretending superiority, especially over the less fortunate. You simply appear to ignore your shortcomings and condemn those you first deem inferior. Do you also believe you're a good Christian? Voted for TFG?

You missed the point entirely about social environment and economic opportunities. Here's a clue: "No man is an island."
