Freedom is a double edge sword. Some people use their freedom to elevate themselves, others are free to fail. In the West we treat an disinclination to handle freedom responsibly as either a moral failing (the right) or reject the possibility that failing to handle freedom can have anything to do with one's character at all and thus inequality must be blamed on external forces (the left). The truth is it is not necessarily a moral failing to handle freedom irresponsibility and handling freedom irresponsibly very likely has a lot to do with someone's personality.
