My Own View-A Look at Laziness

For me this may be one of the most difficult topics to deal with. To come to a conclusion i have to combine viewpoints from both sides as well as address certain emotional ways of knowing from experience.
I do think we have a definite responsibility or rather should feel a responsibility to others around us not so blessed as most of us are. However, this responsibility should only go so far. There is a significant difference between helping someone and crippling their desire to work. I understand that most people on welfare have to get a job as a part of their program but the difficulty and performance at these jobs is extremely sub par. What makes me more upset than anything is someone who is in need of help, is getting help, but is not working their hardest at whatever it is they do to deserve and compensate for the help their receiving. It doesn't matter what you're doing a person should take pride in their work and try to do whatever they can to be the best at their job. When i worked as a busboy i knew that the job might not be the most prestigious job or that i had to work harder than anybody to keep my job or earn more or less but something within me wanted to be the best i could and work my hardest every night to deserve whatever money i was receiving because i know there are many people out there that would work even harder to get half of what i was getting. Why people in need or close to it don't adopt this attitude, i simply don't understand. So many times i receive help at all sorts of work establishments and the people either lack the desire or just don't do their job well. Why should i want to help someone that isn't willing to take their opportunities and do what they can with them.
These are my conflicting feelings of obligation and frustration with the condition of many of our people. From my experiences i see people that just want to get by doing as little work as possible and i just don't support that. And the sad thing is i don't know if there is any solution to how i feel about this at all but it definitely makes me hesitant to fully support either side of this debate. The point i will leave with is that there are some people that deserve legitimate help but there are MANY more that deserve to be where they are and they pass it on to their children by not instilling the right attitude in them from the beginning. While this may not seem fair to the kids, it is if you look at the fact they will probably do the same thing to their kids and continue the cycle. Somewhere the inherited laziness needs to stop and until it does on a large scale i can't fully support more or even the current funding and help we provide through the government and other organizations.
