actually yes.

I would rather struggle on my own, than beg, steal or otherwise take advantage of anyone.

Please note there is a BIG difference in people receiving help and people taking advantage of the system because they can and dont give a shit otherwise.

That being said, there is also pride in accepting help when help is needed/offered and being GREATFULL for it’s assistance when you get back on your feet from it.
