Entitlement

Something I have been thinking about is entitlement.  Entitlement is really a problem in the world culturally and relationally.   Entitlement is in essence "having the right" to something or someone.  For example, after working all day I feel entitled that my spouse cook me dinner.  Well after running the kids to and fro school and doing a load of laundry maybe she feels entitled to call me and ask me to bring pizza home.  Her entitlement encroaches on my entitlement so then who is really entitled?  Neither.  That's just another day in the dysfunctional life of a human in my opinion.  The problem starts with us assuming our needs or desires are most important.  Our culture really tries to promote this because it's beneficial to the businesses that promote the concept that our happiness is contrived from their bullshit for us to consume.  Honest to goodness this is all a lie.  Our happiness comes from having the heart of a servant and being loved honestly and truly.  So many people are unthankful for what they have because they feel entitled to it.  Try to separate yourself from entitlement and see it in it's infant stages and kill it there.  Be a servant. Be thankful.  Love and give love.
