‘Why so soft? O my brother, thus I ask you: for are you not – my brother?
Why so soft, so unresisting and yielding?’ said the diamond.

Child of delight! glorious hero!
You foolish lord of loftiest deeds!

An incompetent person's problems are not his problems, they are his neighbor's
Because their incompetence caused the problem in the first place.
Because if they burn their own house out of incompetence, you wouldn't really expect them to fix the problem themselves? Nor would you be safe with a fire next door.

Free will is not an innate trait, and freedom of choice is not "a human right"; we are all puppets and servants for a thing or two (or a hundred). Rather, it's a skill that only a few humans develop and master. Not everyone deserves a free will, because not everyone knows what to do with it.
