Self-actualized people don’t burn down their neighbourhoods

It’s no coincidence that these riots took place in some of the poorest, most marginalized neighbourhoods in London. Neighbourhoods where institutionalized poverty is a way of life, where opportunities to get out are few and where hope has been long lost –if ever even felt- for many. Self-actualized people who feel they have a future and a stake in their own lives don’t burn down their communities and rage against the system with the kind of sheer hopelessness that makes the rest of us cower with fear.
