We like to think that we’re very smart (another outsized win in the genetic lottery, if you’re intelligent) and have made all the right decisions. We like to think that we’ve “earned” our lot in life.
Personally, I think most of us would be in a very different position if we were born the wrong race/ethnicity in a war-torn country. What if we were the children of drug-addicted prostitutes who were raped by neighboring (warring) tribesmembers (think Darfur)? Think we’d still be in the same place then?[/quote]
Which frankly is a good argument for folks NOT walking away just out of convenience. Given how good they have it here in the US… a little sweat in making good on a bad investment is not really such a hardship in the whole scheme of things, right?
