Entitlement.

Of late i can't help but notice the worst in others. Its not that i'm trying to make a point, but it just seems to overshadow everything else.
My sorepoint however remains with the way everyone seems to have a sense of entitlement.
Most of them think they are entitled to things that most psychologically sound people wouldn't think they deserved unless they worked their ass off for it!
I guess for most, it gives them an excuse to remain below par,it gives them an opportunity to not have to take responsibility for their actions.
Think about it, a person who feels entitled would say something ginormously idiotic like
"oh,we'll wait for the land office to get back to us,because it is after all their job."
(10 yrs later)
"you know,those scum bags totally stole our property from us...i mean,if i don't pay my taxes,aren't suppose to come after me?...why would you assume the land had no title holders?
(this is because you choose to sit on your ass)
So a statement like this would then lead on to them blaming everyone else for their shortfalls...and they would refuse to believe that it was their fault to begin with.
Another good example would be something simple like patient-doctor relationships.(only applicable in govt settings)
See, patient A,lets call him John. Decided to come and see the doctor for lets say a cough...and it doesn't resolve in lets say 1 week...so john comes back...
Mr.I AM ENTITLED JOHN : I am still not better,aren't i supposed to be better?i mean,isn't that what you people are suppose to be doing?...making people like me better.
THE LOST AFTER PATIENT NO 200 DR: errmm...yes but you can have some residual cough for lets say another 10 days or so...let me give you something for it yeah?
MIAEJ: yeah you better...oh and...throw in a MC while you are at it.
TLAPN200DR:....ermm...sure...

See?...its sad to see sometimes how people have this false sense of entitlement. It reinforces the notion that the world owes you a shit load of things, It breeds less responsible adults and...it certainly creates a silent association of pity party goers.

I mean,seriously,suck it up and own up to it.No one owes you anything!...Clean up after yourself,you might make a difference in the way you live your last few days.
