Every generation is more entitled than the previous one. Why? Let me explain...
If appreciative is the opposite of entitled... does that mean that all those people who are not appreciative are entitled?
Entitled ((en·ti·tle·ment entitlement; plural noun: entitlements
the fact of having a right to something.
"full entitlement to fees and maintenance should be offered"
synonyms: right, prerogative, claim; More
permission, dispensation, privilege
"their entitlement to benefits"
the amount to which a person has a right.
"annual leave entitlement"
synonyms: right, prerogative, claim; More
permission, dispensation, privilege
"their entitlement to benefits"
the belief that one is inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment.
"no wonder your kids have a sense of entitlement")) is a worldview. It is a ground-of-being phenomenon, invisible, like the floor. An unexamined truth. To you. But for the other, it is quite obvious... ((This is why the saying "an unexamined life is not worth living" is true... If you have no idea what makes you miserable, you can"t do anything about it.))
So how do you know that you are not appreciative? that you are entitled?
This is how:
Even when you thank someone, they frown...
You may even be diligent in thanking someone, you may even feel a stab of thankfulness, but those thanks are the waves on the waters, not the bottom of the sea... The bottom of your sea is entitlement.
