Why the Government?

My mother, for all she isn’t, taught me to be proud of what I worked for and the only person responsible for my happiness was me. 

She also taught hard work before reward.

So is this why I have such a hard time understanding why people are so willing to turn over their lives to a government? 

Is it because they were never taught pride in one-self and earning what they have?

Uh?
