I’m not trying to be pedantic but everything comes from someone or something. The book and the documentary example you gave are my whole point. It is our job to close in the gaps from childhood. We have to grab life by the horns and make it what we want with the tools we have at their avail.


I don’t see how you can assume others had everything they needed which is why they are successful. You’re assuming it’s that way to justify your viewpoint rather than learning their life stories and then basing your viewpoint off the facts.


I’m of the mind state that you can pull yourself out of any rut. There are so many resources available to us now that if you are determined to get out of your rut, you can. The bum ass dude sitting up playing video games may have been spoiled as a youth but at what point does it become a conscience decision he or she is making?


I have a cousin who was spoiled rotten and now he’s lazy and unproductive and lives with his mom. He’s in his 30’s with seemingly no goals to elevate his situation. At this point, it’s his fault. He’s seen all of us grow and get careers and skills and he didn’t. I’m not going to blame hus mom for how he is today. It’s a conscious choice to NOT close the gaps your parents left.
