RE: The position of the victim or the struggle? What do you choose?
We have been discussing similar issues in my classes and with fellow philosophers. The consensus is that some people, for whatever reasons, simply cannot "pull themselves up" so to speak. Which leads to another question: should we give a shit about those that cannot help themselves?
I think, we can help these people, but patience is not infinite. Sooner or later, a person will cease to help someone, who does not want to get out of the pit. But I think this rule does not apply, for example, to your children, it is very difficult to refuse to help.
