Entitlement

It seems like a lot of people believe that they have a sense of entitlement. They think that they can do whatever they want to do. This can be something as small as parking where you should not park your car. I see it everywhere.

When you have this sense of entitlement, you seem to forget all of the other people around you. You have become selfish, and that is the biggest problem. You may think that you deserve to do the things you do or that other people are doing it so it is OK. This thinking is just wrong.

I get into little debates over small things like this with some of my coworkers, a lot of whom do have a sense of entitlement. The reasoning they use is just not valid. They say things like, "everyone does it" or "if you can get away with it why not do it." Wow! I must say that this line of reasoning is shocking.

What ever happened to people wanting to do what was the correct, moral thing to do. What happened to parking where you are supposed to and walking a little farther. Is it laziness that is motivating this thinking or is it really selfishness? Or maybe, it even goes deeper than that. I don't know, but it is really troubling.
