I'm reading an outstanding book that addresses this issue. It's called "Your Erroneous Zones" by Wayne Dyer. The general theme of the book is "Break Free from Negative Thinking".

"Your Erroneous Zones" -- Wayne Dyer.

On this kind of situations I usually follow the "vulcan" philosophy described by Wayne D. Dyer in "Your Erroneous Zones".

It comes down to "you choose how you feel". There is nothing I can do to make you choose a different feeling so I dont' need to bother trying.

Needless to say, you gotta be smart and avoid or apologize if you can help it, but in my opinion, the whole pycon situation would not be a big deal if everybody understood that concept.

It's a Leftist recruitment article to get people feeling sorry for the poor who, SUPPOSEDLY, according to this article -- unlike most other humans, the poor are incapable of making good decisions, only bad ones.

I was living on the street as a teenager after making bad decisions and having my parents abandon me.

How did I start making good decisions (finally) ?

I quickly grew to HATE being poor.

That hatred of poverty helped me ask "okay, how do I get out of this, living on the street and having no prospects?"

I had independent means within 20 years (in my 30s) after that hatred of my poverty forced me to put more effort into what I did every day.

I was still making some bad decisions for a few years but over time I became very practiced at knowing what to choose (go to college? go in the military? get away from all my current acquaintances?)

Within a year of my peak of hating poverty I stumbled on the idea of having goals. I read "Your Erroneous Zones" by Wayne Dyer.

20 years later I had independent means (no boss, good income).

HATRED OF POVERTY. People who stay poor lack that.

THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. No one else's.

That article is a recruitment tool for Leftists, as in "we should feel sorry for the poor, it's not their fault."

Life will hold you individually responsible for YOUR DECISIONS.

So will the criminal justice system.

Articles like this one try to convince us that some people should NOT be held responsible for their behavior.

WRONG.
