I am disabled. I've gotten a lot of heat for it. People think I feel entitled because I don't work (at the moment). I'm the reason taxes are so high.. lol
It's always the same.
When I was a youth, they would tell us that we wanted "instant gratification" instead of being entitled, as they come up with these labels for the herd.
I've spent a long time soul searching about various labels, and I've come to the conclusion that we're failing many of our youths. They don't know how to behave like adults (yes, I know), and they cling to security.
It's not that they're entitled: they're afraid of what they don't know. They think life should be one, two, three. The reality is that life can be random and/or chaotic. It's not fair. You've got to learn to sail in the wind and accept a little dirt.
You can't predict everything.
We need to teach young adults that they don't have all the answers and that nothing in life is guaranteed.
There are so many poor adaptors these days.
