My late dad was a very smart man who cared about the underdog. I inherited some of that from him and it's held me back to some extent in life because I'm simply not greedy enough for my own good. I'm happy to have my fair share of the pie and split the rest with everyone else to contributed to its making. I never want the entire pie like some people.
However, in middle age I am becoming more cynical about humanity. If someone is lazy and undisciplined and blows all their money on lottery tickets and get-rich-quick schemes, they deserve what they get in life. It's not up to me to save them from themselves.
Damn, I'm almost sounding like a Republican.
