Entitlement is such a cancer, because it is void of gratitude.

Adam Kirk Smith
About This Quote

Entitlement is a form of thinking that is so common in our world today. It is a way of thinking that gives us a false sense of worth and security. In order to get what we want, we must believe that we deserve it. Though the truth is that we have no right to what we want, because it can come from nothing but our own hard work and effort.

Entitlement is the idea that we deserve something for the simple fact that we are alive. This idea is a dangerous one because if we did not deserve anything, then it would be easy to feel bad about our lives and where they lead us.
