Entitlement

I cannot count the number of people who I’ve run across during my life who carry a sense of entitlement. Maybe the large number in my life is because I was involved in politics.
Do you understand what I mean by entitlement? It’s that air of superiority a person carries because they believe they have superior intelligence, wealth, breeding, etc., or for no good reason at all.
When one believe he or she is entitled they act as if the rest of us are here to meet their needs or pay the homage and undying loyalty. Sadly, we—the unentitled—often fall victim to their sense of superiority.
The wisdom of a long life has taught me that the entitled may think they enjoy a superior life, but its amongst the unentitled where the joy of life is more appreciated.
There are no entitled in God’s eyes, and no nose can reach as high as heaven.
