I'm in my late 30s.
No. People who are twats just become bigger twats as they age. People who are not-twats remain not twats.
Some people become twats because they become bitter and angry at the world for not giving them what they think they 'deserve'.
To be fair most people do deserve much more than the world aka their governments are willing to provide.
No, they don't. Most people squander what they are given and are bitter about not being given more which thy would also squander.
No person should be deprived of shelter food and health care. And people are rightfully angry when their governments don't provide the bare necessities to people in need.
