Does lack or deprivation give you a sense of entitlement and
the right to expect others do things for you? I ask because on my way home from
work I see vagrants who “wash” windscreens expecting you to tip them or just
gather around your window begging you for money. These vagrants “select” the
people they approach. They would stand around your car window pray and wheedle
you. If you do not give them money, they would curse you and leave; if you do,
they would still retort something along the lines of you-know-you-will-give-us-money-
and-you- made- us- wait-so-long. Likewise, support staff (read: drivers,
security men, helps, cleaners, nannies) believe that they are allowed to cheat
you, disregard you and not appreciate when you bend over backwards for them for because you live a better
life and it is their right.
Does their sense of deprivation (assumed or real) give them
right to the i-am-entitled-to-something-from-you and “you owe me I am taking
what is mine” mindset? Or do the wealthy- the struggling, the wannabes and truly wealthy owe them?
