You hold the person who makes the choice responsible.

Consequences are by far the best teacher and the best builder of good character.

I think they call that “tough love” . We have way too little of that and way to much of what I call “pathological compassion”.

That’s the type of compassion that ends up making things worse for both the giver and the receiver... as well as society as a whole.

We are living it.

I do not disagree with your goal, we are on board with personal responsibility. But the powers to be are not, they want people who need them because they are failures. So we have an uphill fight to over come decades of the government destroying personal responsibility.

Let me know where to start with the young generation.
