Our indoctrination system (d/b/a "educational system") teaches a victim mentality, subservience and dependence on the system, NOT self-reliance and personal strength (of character, of mind or of body).
And we wonder why our once-powerful nation is going right down the toilet...
One of the smartest lessons (IMHO) to teach kids is that there will always be some people smaller/weaker than them and there will always be some people bigger/stronger than them. They have a responsibility for kindness and compassion for the former and need to be aware that there is always a potential threat from the latter - necessitating friendship, diplomacy, civility and good manners - and where necessary a willingness to stand up to them, even if it means a thrashing.
