[QUOTE]Originally posted by SeekingFreedom: [QB] Glass, unless I missed it, I think you still didn't answer the original question. The reason I posed the question is to try and make you (and whoever else is willing) to answer a much more important one... How much of one's personal responsibility do you [i]really[/i] believe in? Consider this, if you believe that one has no power to affect their lot in life then doing nothing is justified. You give yourself an 'out.' That is the easiest path as the only effort required is, well, no effort at all. On the other hand, if you do believe that you are responsible for your actions and that they have weight and effect beyond one's self, then you have to accept that the lack of action is in itself a choice. Either way, if you believe it about one's self, then it translates to one's beliefs about other people and vice versa. To accept(or deny) one's personal responsibility for one's life is to accept(or deny) that others are responsible (or should be) as well. Which do you believe? Now, as I've made clear before, I don't believe that everyone has the power\opportunity to become the next Warren Buffet. I do however beleive that with few exceptions, everyone does have the ability to better their lives in some manner. It doesn't have to be economically, it can be any metric that one chooses to measure success by. Money just seems to be a common one in our culture as it happens to be the coin by which most services\education\products are bought with. Most here place at least a moderately high ranking on money or else they wouldn't be on a stock market based board. Do you believe that they are greedy for that choice? How many of them would do great things with it should they acquire it? Who knows? And if we don't, why do we allow class envy to lump them in with those that haven't? [/QB][/QUOTE]
