Good question Epacris and something that's struck a bit of a chord with me partly because of my experiences with DSD lately. I think it's great to have compassion for people and their experiences in life but at some point, when they are offered help and assistance, they have to take responsibility for their actions. If they don't accept that help and carry on making excuses, then really what more can you do?

I do often compare the way we approach 'things' now with the way my grandparents/parents generation did and I think we've swung a little bit too far with the compassion and a bit too far from taking responsibility for your own actions.
