Take a
trip to any jail or prison and you will meet hundreds of people who will tell
you they are the "victims" of their circumstances.
Travel
through any big city ghetto and you'll hear the same thing.
Visit
any affluent, high-class neighborhood, talk to the people there and you'll
discover the same thing.
They
will talk about the opportunities they were given, or the chances they were
denied. They may be grateful for the education they were exposed to, or
complain they were denied the education they deserve. One person
will tell you about her wonderful childhood and upbringing was, while another
will complain that she came from a "dysfunctional" family.
There
is no denying that income, status, education, upbringing, neighborhood, family
and many other situations will influence, effect and even determine the outcome
of our lives.
