Entitlement

In today's world, we seem to be thinking that we are entitled to things that we are not. We have the right to pursue happiness, not have the government or anybody else give us happiness. The question of society as whole is not "What can I do to help the world?", but rather, "What can the world do to help me?".
As Mark Twain said, “Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.”If there's something that you don't like, change it yourself. Don't wait for it to change or for somebody else to do it for you, because they likely won't, and you'll be more miserable doing nothing.
As we strive to do something about our situation, we have more opportunities to grow our characters. Please, remember this.
