Pride is a personal choice. When you've sucked at life enough to get yourself into such a hole, you have nothing to be proud of. At any rate, even if you don't believe that, you're still admitting it's a personal choice which I've been arguing all along. Looks like we're basically on the same page.

And how many people have the will-power to begin something like this! Again, you are talking about personal experience and not something that happens 90% percent of the time (if not greater).
You're arguing that there is no personal choice involved. I'm citing examples proving that you can't make such sweeping generalizations. That anyone can overcome difficulty in their life proves that it can be done. If it can be done, we're talking about a personal choice existing to succeed or fail, no matter what.

I agree...they maybe eligible but that doesn't mean that they will tap into that resource.
Personal choice.
