I can't get over how many people think that if there is anything wrong in their life that someone else is responsible or that someone else will fix it. Whatever happened to the original American Spirit? This nation was made strong by people who took control of their own destiny and just did what needed to be done.
Too often when a kid gets a bad grade in school, they blame the teacher, the school, the book or whatever. Never themselves.
If one has an accident in their car, they look to their lawyer to get something from the other party, even if it was their own fault.
How many young people these days actually get a job and work to buy their car. Or do their parents "gift" it to them? Same goes for expensive cells phones and monthly wireless charges.
So far as I'm concerned, no more "I want mine. And, I want it now!" Nobody owes anybody anything. If you want it, go work for it. You'll appreciate what you have ever so much more if you earn it.
So true. And it becomes frustrating when the have-nots expect it get "it" from the haves...I accept responsibility for my actions, and that I am where I am because of the choices I have made, good and bad. I just more people would wear the mantle of ownership that they purchased with the choices they made, instead of having other people wear it, when they didn't purchase it....sigh.
