This is absolutely true for many in this world who are inherently placed in disadvantageous positions of society. "Trying hard" is something you may do only if you possess the means, the resources, to do so. Far too many people are deprived of these resources due to systemic inequity, while others are effortlessly awarded them upon existence. This is why, statistically, those who are born into privilege live on in privilege, while those who are not have significantly damaged life chances. Hard work may grant you courage, insight, and sometimes the ability to achieve your goals, but in many cases it is often met with fruitless disappointment. And don't dare discount this as "not working hard enough," when we know damn well "equality" is hardly an upheld principle in this country or world of ours. I commend this message for its nod to reality and brutal truth. More people should be aware.
