You have heard your friend or acquaintance comment on the situation of the homeless with the words: "Its his own fault. He shouldnt have started drinking. "This consideration neglects the fact that when someone is beautiful, healthy, strong and intelligent, he will hardly fall into poverty. Nobody is a volunteraly poor alcoholic without a roof over his head.
It can happen to everyone. We can have accidents, we can have strokes, we can go bankrupt and psychologically hurt, we cant get out of liquor ... We can get rid of it and maybe not. Maybe good people can help us and maybe they all turn away from us. But the certainty that no man is starving is the privilege of a civilized society.
It seems that the basic certainty of the individual is important only to him. But we create a civilized society and do not let them die of hunger or lack of health care for anyone, neither old nor sick or even lazy. The reward for civilization is the fact that we do not live in times of turmoil caused by masses in need. It appears that solidarity is a guarantee of stability in society. We understand that stability is something.
Just repeating. The fact that an individual will be solidary with the individual in times of its misery is one of the most important factors in seeking personal happiness of man, but also the stability of a civilized society. On the other hand, however, this security must not restrict the individual's efforts.
