There are a lot of people that have had a hard life growing up in tough situations with alcoholic parents and what not that turn out to be a productive person, but to say that these people deserve sympathy because they had a rough life is absurd. I havent had the smoothest ride growing up, especially with death in my immediate family when I had just turned 16. I have worked since I was in high school, after high school I worked two jobs so that I could afford to go to college. And still while my friends travel the world and have school paid for I dont feel the need to feel sorry for myself and have others feel sorry for me.
Youre a human being, you should have the desire to succeed and if you dont, then I dont feel for you.

Well, then you are a strong person, and you dealt with your problems in a positve way. I guess what it comes down to is compassion. Sure, we don't HAVE to feel compasion or sympathy for anyone for any reason, and it would be awesome if everyone could just learn to overcome whatever problems they have and just work and not complain, but the problem is, we're not robots, we're humans, and everyone has emotions and ways of dealing with it.
personally I feel that just because you were able to move on and succeed, that isn't a reason to turn around and feel no sympathy for anyone who wasn't able to deal with their problems as well as you did. but that's just me.
