Looked at in a different light, this bright and hardworking person is too fragile, too twisted to be a welcoming future for our children. Life is not fair: some children enjoy more wealth; therefore, they receive more education, and they have a healthier life. Hence, adolescents who are forced to believe that their sole hard work is responsible for what they have achieved so far, have nowhere to go but godforsaken land of self-blaming. The poor child grows into being a yet poor adult, unable to see that the well-off start the race from a starting point closer to the end. The poor are structurally behind, but if they believe that the key to triumph is seldom outside them, they will never know what has thwarted their will, and thus, end up blaming the victim -themselves.
