Organized people's productivity versus that of a 'sloppy' person. Are messy people less happy? Are organized people narrow minded? Why do people who live in poor and abusive environments stay there? Why do they not have a desire for something better?
My roommate told me of her best friend's ex girlfriend. The girl grew up in an abusive home so she was sent to live with her grandparents. Her grandfather proceeded to sexually assault her. She got a boyfriend who sold her into prostitution.
Another person she knew was abused at home. Her mom tried to kill her sister, so they were sent to live with their grandmother who eventually kicked them out for their behavioral problems. They spent high school in foster care.
Both of these girls have a baby to care for as well.
Stories like these are fairly common. People are hopeless or afraid of leaving home.
A boy gets a football scholarship and goes to college. He has such a hard time adjusting to the academics and social change he goes back to his home. His home where his brothers molest his sisters and where he has no indoor plumbing or electricity.
And if he were to stay he would have lost his family because the experience would have differed him so much.
These are the people society hides from, while they desperately try to forget themselves in unachievable beauty and lifestyle standards. While they bankrupt themselves on a mortgage they can't afford. While they divorce and remarry, just so they won't be alone.
