People no longer hold themselves accountable for their actions and choices

[Believe_N_Me]

It's as though they never learned the important lesson that was to be learned. Perhaps they don't believe there is a lesson to be learned. 

I haven't listened to a Hmong story in awhile, but I remember one from a few months back about a Hmong guy who became homeless because of his drug addictions and gangster life. One thing that I did not hear from him is an apology to his parents.

He began his story by saying that he came from a very large family of 14 children. He was a middle child and therefore, only received his brothers' hand-me downs. He'd be the last to wear them because they were too tattered to pass to his younger brothers. So only the oldest and youngest sons got new clothes. His life of crime started after he begged his parents for a pair of Jordans. His parents didn't work but as a child, he didn't understand this.

Needless to say, his life of drug and crimes led to jail time, two failed marriages, two children from each marriage, and homelessness.

This guy blaming his parents for the way he is when he can't give ANYTHING to his two children.

Maybe he should've learned that parents try their best.

This guy was a Millennial. I am having Millenial fatigue.

Another Millennial had a meltdown over the corporate job she hates. This one hasn't learned her lesson either. She mentioned how her mother couldn't give her things. Maybe her mom also hated her job and didn't make enough money to spoil a kid?

Working this hard should make people realize that money don't grow on trees.

If you ever threw a tantrum because your mom wouldn't take you to McD's, well now you know why.

Blaming others comes more easily than accepting fault. Those who take responsibility for their actions seldom find themselves in dire circumstances.
