I feel that I am only entitled to have the freedom of opportunity to use my skills and talent as I deem fit. Success, comfort, wealth and prosperity are not, and should never be guaranteed. I am accepting of the notion that my achievements will place me below others and above others in terms of success comfort and wealth.

I am also accepting of the notion that my concerns and worries should be my responsibility and should not be the priority of anyone else.

Life is not meant to be easy, neither is it meant to be hallow. Self responsibility, although difficult, does solidify your existence.

No, Not when it comes to dealings with other people in life. You only deserve in life what you agree to or negotiate for. Basically what I am saying is, you deserve what you agree to. If you agree to work for someone for $1 an hour and a little later that same employer pays another person $3 an hour for the same job; you can't say to that boss that isn't fair. Why? because you agreed to work for $1 an hour. It is fair, and it is what you "deserve".

No way, you are only entitled to the freedoms given by the constitution and the free will from the higher power you believe in. Life does not owe us anything we owe life everything.

I would love to have more money than I do, I could surely use it but I do not deserve it per say. If i work hard for the money then sure I deserve it, but nothing in life is free except for creek water and the air we breath.
