^^^^ People are not rational. Economics posits that rational decision-makers do not take sunk costs into consideration when making a choice, but in daily life, we all do.

Bad individuals need to fail?.. So people should be left to suffer just because they weren’t born under as lucky of a star as others? A gang member might be called bad, but he was forced to be a gang member due to poor familial circumstances, over which he had no control while he was growing up as a child.

And what if an individual is in a bad position through no fault of his own?

Can individuals be defined as bad if they aren’t sly enough to rip other people off? Can they be defined as bad for feeling sympathy for others and wanting to help them? In other words, can they be defined as bad, and in dire necessity of failure, for being nice?
