No matter how little it may be, there is this joy that comes with earning money for yourself without having to beg someone else first or basically doing something for yourself. So many times we are so comfortable asking those around us to assist us with every penny that we need and sometimes we become victims of entitlement. Since we always get what we want, we end up thinking that we do deserve it and when it doesn't come at some point, we can even get mad at the person who refused to give us what we asked for.
It's very easy to feel entitled especially when things just keeps going the way you want it to and just for once it goes south, we start feeling like that shouldn't have happened and we can even go further to explain how Worthy we are to get such favors from people or situations. On the other hand, there are some of us that hate even asking for anything no matter what we may be going through. We even prefer to die than ask someone of something.
Either ways, non of them is healthy for us as humans because in this life we all do need each other to survive but then we must understand that people come and people go. To those people who are opportune to have a friend or family member who has been with them for over 15 years and more, I'm very sure there is starting to be this sort of entitlement you feel around them.
I've seen a case where these two friends lived with each other all through their stay in the university but after they graduated and went their separate ways although they are still close friends, when one of them wanted to get married, she asked her other friend to be her bride maid but she had to decline because she was not going to be around at the time of her wedding.
The friend was so hurt and disappointed because they've said a lot of things of how they were going to be there for each other at their marriages. Well, the truth is, no matter how hard the friend tried to blame her friend, she came to realize that it was beyond her friend's power if not she would have definitely made it there for her wedding. At some point I was also trying to think of how the friend who wasn't able to be there for her best friend was feeling, I'm sure it wasn't good at all.
We all should learn how to stop feeling entitled to things or people's attention because no matter how hard they or we try, one day they won't be there for us and we also won't be there for them but that doesn't mean in anyway that neither of us care less for each other. We are lucky when we have someone helping us out all the time when we need help for them but then always be prepared for the day when they can't give you what you want because it's definitely going to happen.
Thank you so much for reading through, I'm glad you stopped by.
