"We"? You leave many of your people behind. and their numbers are growing, indicate your own statistics by your own offices.

They never have been, ever, in any human society ever created. You have a choice to overcome adversity or to surrender to it.

Overcoming adversity is not a choice. you can only to try that - but even if you try your best you may fail due to factors outside your reach and responsiblity. I agree that there are people, though, who choose to surrender. this may be for different reasons. They can be the often bashed sopcial parasites. They can also be people who have tried in vein for so long that courage has lost them. Not everybody is a superman with unlimited reserves of optimism and energy. Sometimes some people simply give up. Not because they are parasites or are lazy or bad characters, but simply because at some point enough is enough, and there is no going on without a helping hand.
Sometimes, help is needed. Where help gets abused and exploited - that is where I start to have problems with it.
