the only person i never doubted turned out to have been involved in drug deals and complicit in at least one murder so... give it some time, chuck, i'm trying.
but there's no benefit to most people to breaking the pattern. most where i come from stand to lose something if they do. some people stand to lose everything if they tried. you can't expect people to go against their self-interests or well-being, especially when they're just barely getting by as it is.
being a decent person is a thing that you CAN'T afford, sometimes.
