Life doesn’t have enough babysitters. Learn to take care of yourself. Independence is a virtue, and so is personal responsibility, self reliance, self respect, self determination, or self made. Dignity is for those with personal responsibility and self respect. A time comes when a being unconditionally becomes independent from others to be responsible to itself and those around it. A being that refuses to be independent, personally responsible, or self reliant soon become a burden, liability or leakage to itself, society, and those around it. Among the lessons of life, education comes first. Schooling is a good thing. A being that grew up dispelling education hardly retain the positive values or virtues of life or society. The shamefulness of being is entitlement. The gene code of entitlement is detrimental to the being of the being itself and future of humanity. Entitlement takes away personal responsibility, dignity, self respect, personal accountability, and righteous indignation. Entitlement fuels sloth, crime, unproductiveness, emptiness, hopelessness, envy, homelessness, and helplessness. A great society deserve humans who are not entitled to anything that creates privileges, disadvantages, favoritism, prejudices, discrimination, injustice, inequalities, inequities or unfairness. Meritocracy is a virtue, entitlement is not. If the field is plain, a lot can be planted on it, and if it’s entitled, it soon becomes a waste land. Be thy best. Al PHIL.PIZ. 05.11.2022
