Most of the misery of being destitute is the misery of guilt. Because you KNOW you aren't living your life in a way which is best suited for your family.
There are many, many people who are at the poverty level or below who live happy and productive lives.
The people on welfare without exception have other issues, generally stemming from some really bad choices. The lack of money is just a symptom. It's not the cause of their misery. |
so maybe it's drugs, alcohol, violence, infidelity...? what is it that is destructive to the fabric of the family? lack of time with the kids (children raised by day care)?
what do you think should be added to the poll?
