    I’m always sad and embarrassed when I see someone who was “raise on welfare” and learned nothing from it.

    Those of us able to think critically about our time being poor understand that no one aspires to do nothing with themselves. The despair of poverty doesn’t come from an unwillingness to do/be better; It comes from the belief that we’re **unable** to do so.

    What you mistake for laziness is actually hopelessness. Having disdain for that is just a lack of empathy.
