You weren't offensive at all. You said it as it is and I like that. Some people think they'll ask the God or the Universe and it will be given to them. That's not the truth. We must put in some work and sacrifice a lot in order to live a better life. Nothing in life comes easy but those who are willing to accept it will eventually score. You made some great point here. Thanks
I'm glad you understand my point of view. It really saddens my heart when I hear some older people trying to pray the misfortunes away and never put in any work. I even feel more sadness for the children of such people as they are going to grow up believing in that same ideas. I think it's time we changed our curriculum. I don't know how the western world does theirs but for my continent, I think stuffs like financial empowerment should be taught regularly else history will always repeat itself.
