A couple of relevant points:

1.)

One of my teachers once told me, "everything any person does is their first choice." This means that people do what they want to do, and they never settle for less.

Take for example the homeless: they are homeless because they are jobless, and they are jobless because they want to be (assuming there are jobs to be had). So, if there are jobs to be had, and somebody is jobless, it's because they'd rather deal with the consequences of being jobless, than deal with the consequences of having a job. They prefer the stress of not having a job over the stress of having one. Therefore, being jobless is their first choice. I think this applies to almost every decision anybody makes.

2.)

I took an Ethics class in college, and I had to give a presentation about Human Rights. I had prepared well, and I was ready to talk about rights which all humans are entitled to. During my presentation I became aware that many people disagreed about what rights are universal and inalienable. So, I threw my presentation out the window and decided to just make a list with the class of universal inalienable rights. Sadly, nobody could agree on a SINGLE one! The class decided there are no Human Rights. They couldn't even agree that the right to live should be universal and inalienable! They kept saying that a murderer doesn't deserve to live, so therefore life itself is not inalienable. It was a sad day for me, because I realized how little people respect other humans. I seriously wanted to cry. I was so disappointed.
