Woah dude, calm down. Excuse me for wanting to believe people are mostly good.
People are mostly good. Propaganda designed to enforce certain beliefs makes people think those less fortunate are lazy, entitled, and less deserving. It's also human nature to discount any luck in our success stories and attribute them to only/mostly hard work.
I am beginning to doubt this assertion too
I think that's one of the biggest issues, people believing what they want to believe, despite all of us being subject to the same reality.
That said, believe what you like. Sorry for bringing rain to the parade.
