You’ve got that right.
I’ve had libs actually get angry when I give them “the rules”:
Your first responsibility is to ensure that YOU are not an involuntary burden on others.
After that is achieved, you can think about having a family, if you can ensure that your family will not be an involuntary burden on others.
At that point, you are personally obligated to do what you can to help others in need.
If everyone followed these rules, there’d be a lot less “needy” in the first place.
“If everyone followed these rules, there’d be a lot less “needy” in the first place.”
But not everyone follows those rules. Do they get what is coming to them?
Don’t get me wrong, I agree with you in principles. It is just that in practical terms, what you say is cold hearted.
