That's all nice but not everybody is you and I don't think we can reasonably expect every single person to be you. This is actually pretty close to the "homeless people just need to pull themselves up by the bootstraps" mentality.
No it's not? Not being a shithead is a completely different expectation from becoming financially stable?
Are you even thankful for the socialized support you got? Where do you think you would be right now without disability payments? Or your friends? Do you think you'd be equally mentally healthy right now?
...I wouldn't have started doing crime, or shooting people?
You can absolutely reasonably expect people to not go on a murder spree, no matter their situation.
Reality disagrees.
