It's all a little silly, it's all a little surprising, and it's all some people choose to see.
A culture of entitlement is a phrase i've been hearing about more and more in the past year, though only after seeing people near to me take a stand point i could never have expected do i start to come to the broader understanding of how so many of us think we deserve more and more and MORE of everything without the effort or willing desire to earn and be proud. To be honest with a sense of dignity, empathy and confidence that i see this new culture beginning to rob us all of.
It always amazes with so much potential in each and every person, so many are trapped by the barriers they put themselves behind, and eventually do not see the passages that can lead them out towards happiness that they can provide for themselves. With the blinders on many people i know go forward unwilling to say yes to so much and so easily saying no to the majority of life... and yet fundamentally believe that sense of entitlement is fully justified. i see more of the attitude of "Do less Expect more". This makes me cringe.
Priding yourself with a job well done or a situation handled to the absolute best of your know how are moments that provide the most savory flavors to life. How can so many be wrapped up in the self deceit and self fulfilling habits? It is a choice, and a choice to rob yourself of challenges you deserve and life to be lived. To aid, to believe and forward a sense of community within a global, national, friendship or complete stranger level is where the belief in and of entitlement really hurts everyone. When most believe they deserve more and do less the loss is without equal, but most of all for those people who refuse to see the other side of the coin we all see spinning in front of us.
Don't hand me hand outs. Hand me how to's and the situations to come through either up or down just let me know i do it for the right reasons.
