I have different friends from all walks of life. I find normally when you ask someone to look after themselves they feel they don’t deserve it. I might say have a bath and relax have some you time and they are opposed to it.
It is fascinating because conservative attitudes are about entitlement and I have jokingly/seriously alluded to true conservatism as not being able to have a shower. In that the shower costs money and now the money doesn’t exist to have one.
It is meant to be a joke but that’s where those attitudes go. We don’t have the money ie corporate business has vacuumed up all the cash and there is no tax being paid. We have to impose stringent measures on cash flow. You no longer deserve public services or welfare and especially not a bath or shower!!!
I find the attitude of avoiding the needs of one’s self are rife. Either the opportunities that do exist are seen as not enough so all opportunities are aborted. It is a real all or nothing position normally in the long term becoming nothing overall. We all know nothing leads nowhere so that is where you find yourself?

Nothing is of nothing makes.
