People who take more than their share usually feel an inflated sense of entitlement.

It is true that, when an entitlement begins to be enjoyed by people, they like to keep it.

I don't understand when people are being greedy or mean, when they say who should get what, when they get control of someone else's life.

Certain people in life are just going to take what's given to them, and certain people in life know they want better and they're going to go find better. I've always been that type of person.

Some people just get what they want in the world.

There are still a lot of people who have the expectation that they're entitled to everything and want to pay for nothing.

I react very badly when mediocrity throws a tantrum of entitlement.

In my life, I have learned that most people want the same thing. They are not driven by class resentment. What they want most is to make a better life for themselves and their families - and to know that the opportunities for their children will be better than they were for themselves.

As you get older and wiser you realize that when people are given anything without having to earn it (unless they are physically or mentally utterly incapable of earning anything), they become ungrateful and lazy. They also become less happy.

Most of the people I know who were raised to be accommodating or were raised to just be nice and put everybody's needs ahead of theirs, there comes a moment when the pressure builds and they can't do it anymore. They have needs and they feel neglected and they usually explode.
