As the Bible says: For I was hungry and you fed me, I was thirty and you gave me water, I needed clothing and you clothed me. This was wrong. You should have made me work for it for now I shall be lazy and dependent on handouts.

@Zaphod42 Society is absolutely endemic with this attitude of "other people have done more than me...and that makes THEM the immoral one". It is the laziness and selfishness that can characterize humans, which many have tried to intellectualize with social theories, and others just downright twist whatever a successful person does to attain the resources needed to help someone, as bad.
I informed someone that I have a limited amount of time on earth to carry out all the help I wish to give society, and so I am very selective of who I spend time with and what I spend that time doing. I spend time only with those who want the best for me and those who have the means to in some way help me. Which is an absolute fundamental of creating anything. If your intentions are to help people, then wanting to spend time with someone who wishes me the best in that and wants to help means more people will be helped.
But that's "narcissistic". Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a very rare disorder and has no application with how most people use that term.

@Zaphod42 And yes, when it comes to the successful. They are happy to get handouts from them, but as soon as they say "you could do this to help yourself", or "have you considered looking at this thing in another way", they get angry.
