Do you see the problem yet?

Imagine if you will a child born into submissive obedience, compliance with no voice of his own, beaten out and dragged down with every expression of individual existence separate from any other person, he is invisible. Then at school, he is met with condemnation, repetitive punishment when he begins to act out his frustrations, having no words to describe how he feels, no idea what he needs or wants, no clear direction but a predicted life of losing..a "ne'er do well". Job after doll check, he is convinced his life is worthless, he has no place in the society he is stuck with no way forward, too little support and understanding he continues his journey faced with judgement around every corner he cries out for help in ways people refuse to hear. He works harder than most to keep his head above the murk, challenged by deep anxiety and fear to add to his load and yet still, nowhere does he get but further down a social ladder he views through a lens of bleak out of reach riches perceived to make the man a better person.
Now, the same society needs and demands something from this worn down and out man who's individuality is blurred into a picture he doesn't recognise. Shoved into a box undeserving of respect, he turns and emerging from years of unwarranted abuse tells you to go fuck yourself. Yet again he is ostracised for not appearing to comply, met with criticism and words of self righteous indignation, after all, you managed to get somewhere in life, didn't you?! Do you see the problem yet?
