>If a poor person acts in a self destructive manner, it is not societies fault, it is their own.
Not really, and for sure, not always.
And inversely, if a rich persons acts in a great manner, it's not necessarily some personal greatness behind that.
Society can make it easy for a rich person to do the right thing, and hard for a poor person to do the right thing. Even when it comes to taking care of themselves.
It's like Anatole France once wrote regarding the law: "The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread."
Gym and healthy eating is great when you can just eat something fancy and well prepared, and spend 1 hour every day after your office work. Not so easy you're a working stiff juggling 12 hours of work a day, with not much salary to show for that, coming back to a miserable house, and just wanting to eat something and go to sleep for the next day.
