The opium of “something for nothing” is a hard habit to kick for those so addicted. They can not, will not see that minimal effort equals minimal existence. It’s much easier to blame others and cling to one’s imagined “victim of (insert your favorite bogeyman here)” status.
"Easier" is the key word. Society has adopted the "Easy Road" attitude and it is killing mankind. Moral fiber and work ethic seem almost dead. Kids are growing up in a feel-good, just don't-get-caught world.
Life has always presented difficult choices. In weighing decisions, there were consequences to be considered. Today, society works very hard to eliminate the consequences.
Blaming others is the tip of the iceberg. Living a lie and expecting others to chip in delusional support is the game. If enough people believe the same lie then it will come true is the mantra.
It’s on our side too. I work with a guy who served a three year hitch in the army, never saw combat, and says “I’m a veteran” constantly, wanting preferences in hiring and all kinds of freebies.
Yes, and the state has competed with and replaced the church for taking care of the needy...that is the big error. No reliance on God and commonsense to get back to productivity equals a growing needy populace which is what the government wants in order to stay and grow in business. How dare they! Their day is almost over along with all of the excessive taxation.
