whose fault?

Being poor is a choice, I believe. But although it doesn't always apply to everyone I still believe it's a matter of choice. When we cannot eat three times a day, we cannot go outside, join rallies to blame the government. You have to work to earn a living so you can eat. .hey say it's so hard to look for a job. Yes it is hard to look for a job if you just stay at home waiting for someone to offer you a job. But I should also consider those who are out everyday looking for jobs and still end up jobless because companies nowadays require a lot. Medical examinations cost too much. This examinations can cost P500 the least. Of course, not all those who seek jobs can afford this, and so they say, why bother looking for a job when I can't even afford a one-way P7.00 fare. I think you can borrow from a neighbor. When you look for a job of course you have to look presentable. You don't need a new shirt or shoes, you can borrow from a friend or a brother/sister, right?
Imagine a family with 6 kids, the father doesn't have a stable job (earning less than the minimum daily wage), the mother stays at home and is pregnant with their 7th child. They can barely eat one meal a day, and they keep on reproducing! Now who do they blame for their condition? More likely they'd say the government didn't provide them jobs. Are we really that lazy or a we just plain stupid?
