    It’s called “taking control over your life” and it has the cumbersome effect of giving the illusion that one has control over one’s own life. A common phrase would be “If you just worked harder you wouldn’t be so poor.” There is solace in the power over one’s own life, so much so that people ignore that this power is getting eroded day by day. Because admitting this is very scary, even moreso if one has people depending on them.
