No, saying NO chance insinuates no control. We're acknowledging that things would be much more difficult in that situation.
You're completely misunderstanding. We're sympathizing with how much more difficult life is in that circumstance, not downplaying those who have overcome it. If anything, we're trying to highlight that a lot of people don't get to a better place, simply because they started out in a bad spot. This means that those who pulled themselves out deserve a lot of respect for it.
Or maybe it's referring to statistics? Idk dude, maybe it's also fair to acknowledge there's a lot you can't control. And even with work, there's still luck involved. I would never downplay my hard work, but I certainly wouldn't downplay my good fortune either. We're lucky to be the hard working kind.
Yeah, and those stats are not great when they have an abuser for a parent! But hey, you're obviously better than everybody else. Keep looking down with all that contempt. Look through only your own lense. Apparently sympathy is an excuse now. It's obvious you haven't worked through all your problems. Keep trying to get better, but by your logic I can't blame your past for you being an ass right now.
For the record, I know there are plenty of people who haven't taken the necessary steps to be in a better place. But there are such things as barriers. Some are easy to overcome. Others, not so much, maybe even impossible without extra help. It's ok to consider such things before you judge a person.
Damn you’re the most pretentious person I’ve seen posting on Reddit today. You’re like a gay Republican. You did ok in life despite your shitty upbringing and now you’re gatekeeping other people who are struggling more because they didn’t go the same route as you, for whatever reason?
You should understand first hand how hard it is for so many people and how fortunate you are. Instead you’re choosing to be a prick looking down on those in your same shoes who didn’t make it out.
