Do you deserve a break today? I think too many of us feel entitled to breaks, discounts, shortcuts, freebies, favors, free lunches and getting something over someone.
It’s creepy and completely misguided. NO, WE DON’T ‘DESERVE’ a break.
The reality is that as human beings we need adversity, resistance, a little bit of trouble. Humans don’t need an easy life because when we have it we invariably descend to our most basest impulses -- take reality shows for example, no need to have writers think of something thought provoking or pertinent to say, just point and shoot and watch the masses line up for the train wreck.
If you don’t use it you loose it also applies to our moral fibre, which needs to be exercised into developing sturdy muscles so we become determined, so we learn to strive, take risks, be bold.
We don’t deserve a break. We deserve for stuff to break so that we know what we’re made of. An easy life, a life of entitlement teaches us less than nothing.
