The thing I resent the world for the most is that it's forced me to live without a sense of entitlement. So many of my peers came into the world expecting piles of treasure for nothing, and were horrified and angry when this was denied them. I was never promised, and it was made explicit from birth that if I went in expecting anymore than the bare minimum, I wouldn't get anything at all. Yet there are others who go through life expecting, nay, demanding more, even when they don't get it. Why am I not allowed to do the same? Why am I not allowed to ask for more and then get angry when the world withholds it from me? I don't care if I don't deserve any of what I demand, that particular excuse hasn't stopped millions the world over from demanding whatever they want, even if they weren't going to be able to do anything with it once they had it. People act like I should know better than to be demanding, that I should be serene and calm enough to listen to the world and act on its advice. My reply to that is this; when did intelligence remove from me the inalienable right all of humanity has to stupidity?
