There seems to be a sentiment that those in unfortunate situations have had a life of circumstances "stacked against them" or they were born into the "wrong family" or even born with a mental illness. Have you considered those that are from the trust funded families you are baselessly judging that have gone down the wrong road leading to an unfortunate circumstance? There are countless families suffering from a loved one who is an addict, has a mental disorder or is homeless even from the Gilford tax role indicating a 50 year old trust. Money doesn't determine your path in life as much as people like to blame it. All the money in the world would not solve these issues as they don't stem from finances. You can buy a home for every single homeless person in Laconia and guess what will happen in a very short period of time?

How about those who experience these unfortunate circumstances as a child and end up using their adversity to live a happy, successful life? I can't count the amount of professional athletes and entertainers who have told the story of their incredibly difficult childhood experiences but found a way to persevere.

Does this not dispel some of the beliefs we are reading? Why grandstand and baselessly judge those who have wealth (however it was obtained) when it has nothing to do with nor will it cure these social issues?
