It occurs to me that among the most difficult truths to swallow for many people is that the world owes you absolutely nothing.

I think it is much more a western concept and a problem of later generations. Also a problem comes from your term "world," what do you mean when you say that?

I dunno man. I was just speaking of a general entitlement that many people seem to feel that they have simply for being alive.

Dude, what are you talking about? The world totally owes me. I mean, I'm here, making everything more awesome just by being around... I think I deserve compensation for that.

Well, it does continue to provide you with the means by which the things which sustain you are sustained. Y'know, through rain and sunshine.

That's bullshit. That stuff is for everyone, not just me. I want to be the sole beneficiary of the payment for my amazingness.
