Now you're starting to sound like the Just World Theorists I was talking about earlier . . .
It's about helping the people less well off than you. And, whether you like it or not, even all your hard work is ultimately down to luck and privileges. There are many people who never even get the chance.
Luck swallows everything.
Like I said, there's no much thing as a self-made man. And that's why full-blown Capitalism is bad. That's why America is a country where there is not only countless homeless people but there's also lucky douches who think they made themselves shouting "Get a job!" at them.
We are all extremely lucky to be in the position we're in. I don't work and I'm on disability benefits and even *I* am extremely lucky to be in the position I'm in. I'm more than happy with the idea that my disability benefits aren't as high as they could be because there's some people far worse off than me. Sharing is caring.
I have a lot more sympathy for those worse off than me than those better off than me.
