it has come to my attention that the world is raising up a generation with a false sense of entitlement. this dangerous perspective is producing angry people who expect to receive what they have not earned and seek to take what does not belong to them. they are an impatient people who honestly believe that they are not. they expect their neighbors to share their harvests when they took no part in the sewing and plowing of the fields. they believe they are of noble descent and above plowing. they call those who have obtained wealth and respect, tyrants, because they believe that wealth should have been theirs. they look down on those who have what they think they are entitled to, thinking in their minds that someone who is less has taken thier inheritance. this dangerous victim complex is raising fascists within our very midst. a people who believe they are above working in order to gain respect and accomplishment. a people who believe they are above humiliation. humiliation is the known constant of entrepreneurship. those who risk little, gain little. without humiliation, there is no humility. without humility there can be no reparation, no reconciliation, no peace.
