      Yeah! Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and start a small business! It’s your fault that you’re poor and you’re black!

      Why should only the minorities that excel deserve a good life?

      Why do the mediocre majority get to live a good life while the mediocre minority don’t?

      Let people be mediocre and instead we need to make life better for everyone.

      I fairly certain you’re a troll, it’s patently obvious on a site like lemmy. Heck I’m even confident you’re going to respond to this because I used a magic keyword, I won’t. This is meant for the normal people reading this

        The guy just said “If you excel at something, you will be happy and less stressed” and you are seriously asking why only people that are happy deserve to be so? They didnt even claim that anything SHOULD be any particular way, they just said that the goal of being happy in the end is an aim worth persuing.

        Let people be mediocre and instead we need to make life better for everyone.

        You cant just magically make people healthier or less stressed or happier. If the other person had said “Health is a good reason why you should start working out” would you also respond with:

        Why should only the minorities that excel [work out] deserve a good life?

        ?

          Having enough money/income to live comfortably and access mental/health care will do this for most people.
