There is also the issue of the dole. When you have been on the dole for a considerable length of time, or even for your entire life, you come to believe that you are entitled to that dole—that it belongs to you as a right.
Then, all of your perceptions are colored by those feelings of entitlement and ownership. You begin to imagine that, since you're being given stuff, everybody must be being given stuff, just as you are.
So then you have to question why some people have more and better stuff than you do. Why are they being given all of this better stuff? Why are they more favored by the gods of the handout than you are?
And then the anger against this "injustice" rises in your breast, and then, since nobody has ever taught you self-restraint or social responsibility, you strike out in anger against this perceived injustice, under which you seem to be suffering.
At best, you break into other people's houses and steal the better, more abundant stuff that they have been "given." At worst, you beat up, or even kill, those better-endowed people who have more and better stuff than you do.
And when you're caught and punished, you and your friends see it as unfair and unjust. After all, you were just taking what might just as well been given to you. So why are you being punished?
So your friends riot to protest that perceived injustice. But the funny thing is that your friends riot and bust-up your own neighborhood, probably because it's convenient, but also possibly because you're a little afraid to bust-up the folks who have been "given" more stuff, because of their friends, the police.
And anyway, after you've busted-up your neighborhood, you know that the gods of the gimme will just rebuild it for you, free.
So the cycle is perpetuated. You and your friends never learn responsibility or restraint. And on it goes.
