I don't blame people for their failures. Failures are good. It is how you learn to succeed. I don't even blame people for giving in to circumstance. It's their choice to make.
I do think that such people should not envy my successes. If you don't want to cope with my failures (there were many), you have no right to be envious of the little success I have.

Just once I'd like to hear a successful person say "I just got dealt a good hand" or, "I'm lucky I'm pretty resilient, the road blocks to the top didn't phase me too much". Instead they all peddle this "personal responsibility" crap.

Perhaps that is because all successful people believe in that crap. Name one truly successful person whose life is not riddled with failures. Donald Trump went bankrupt numerous times, Steve Jobs was fired from the company he created (only to return as it's savior a decade later), Lenny Kravitz was rejected again and again by the music business until someone finally gave him a break... the list goes on...
All these people have in common that after every fall, they pick themselves up and try again. And again. And again.

Though I'm glad your religion seems to serve you well. Too bad it limits your ability view others. I can only hope the damage you inflict on them is as limited as can be.

It's not a religion and I am not holding a gun to anyone's head shouting "TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!", so my views can hardly be damaging to anyone but myself. Fortunately, what happens to me is entirely my responsibility.
So don't you worry
