Moral Singularity

'Faith" cannot be taught (only learned).
But a good work ethic can be taught - as can knowledge.
Why do some succeed while others fail?
Why do some put forth the effort while others settle for what is given?

From religious leaders, to politicians to financial gurus - all seen to think that they have the answers to to society's ills.
'Work hard and be smart' seems to be the model used by each group in an attempt to teach others how to go from a life in the hood to a life in the hills.
But is it really that easy?
Is it really possible for everyone to have a successful life?
Or are some just destined to be subjugated for their entire lives?
Do class distinctions exist for a reason?

"Work hard and be smart." - there has to be something more, there has to be something missing.
Church and all it's teachings are free.
Public education is free.
If everyone has access to moral guidance and an education - why do so many fail to take full advantage of these resources?
While my previous post was more of a concept, a direction, or an idea - what I'm really searching for is a sort of 'Moral Singularity" in which all can benefit from a simple model.
Or does a model even exist?
If so - is this model reserved for those who have already reached a certain status?
Is 'freedom' a luxury to which all can aspire but that few can attain?
Or is 'freedom' a mental state which enables one to go from grace to grace regardless of his social or economic standing?
