"To defend the truth, to articulate it with humility and conviction, and to bear witness to it in life are therefore exacting and indispensable forms of charity."

Blame parents for poverty

Many people feel they are poor. Who’s to blame for this? The ultimate responsible for the existence of an individual is their parents. They are, therefore, responsible for the conditions in which the child is brought into the world. Other people can live with a much higher standard of living but, to be sure, the existence of such a child is not their responsibility.

So, blaming the State, the society or any other allusion to people beyond parents is overruled.

What is referred to by such terms as "unfair world" is usually a euphemism for "irresponsible parents".
