Entitlement

Well, this blog on entitlement could take me to many places. I guess entitlement is the act of being entitled, meaning having claim to something. I think our lives revovle around entitlement. If you really think about it, everyone has entitlement to something, often multiple things. I always remember my parents saying everything is their's until I turn 18, then I can claim my rights to everything (even my own privacy).
I feel like some people take life as a game to gain as much entitlement as they can before they die. It's like we gain status by the amount of things you're entitled to. The more you have, the better off in life you are. Whether that's right or not, it is how society has grown to be. We struggle to keep our entitlements, we fight to gain entitlement, and we judge others on their entitlement. Thinking of entitlement this closely has made me think how everything is revolved around it. It seemed at first like such a simple concept until I looked into it deeper. There is some sort of heirarchy. I'm entitled to my blog, but some company is entitled to the website this blog is on. So is it really mine? It gets to be so complicated for me to understand. Are we truly entitled to anything? I guess it comes down to what level of entitlement you are looking at. I'm entitled to my own opinions and thoughts and that is something no one can take away. Your sense of entitlement depends on your views, some are concrete, legal entitlements, others are abstract like your thoughts. I dare you to look around. Are you entitled to what you are looking at? Take a closer look and maybe you'll just realize how much entitlement really is a part of life.
