Undue Expectations and Entitlement are some of the biggest problems in life and it becomes worse when it's not even deserved
I mean before people feel entitled, there's always the idea that they've done something right to qualify for something positively proportional. I mean, throwing money into a Ponzi scheme and expecting double or triple rewards is normal and this is because the idea behind a Ponzi is that there's always more money with unrealistic ROI to share. Now it's quite different when some other people threads carefully, putting in money they can only afford to lose while expecting the Ponzi to crash but hoping it wouldn't.
A lot of people have been hurt by the sudden crash of many projects that rugpulled
But originally, why does someone take a hype project seriously?
taking all their savings and buying it, hoping they'll get money in two weeks to build three houses and buy four Ferrari? I mean it's common sense that a hype coin is expected to crash, get rug pulled, or even cease to exist. I mean the idea of putting in one's life savings and expecting the project to do better is sheer entitlement and undue expectations. This means some people want to reap even off negative actions, bad calls, wrong choices, or even in places where they haven't put any effort. This is quite evident in a system where the laws aren't functioning.
The Wrong Attitude: Huge Expectations
For example, some government workers have a wrong attitude to work, they're on the job but they treated the job as shit, failing to deliver the value they're employed to offer but they expect that their salaries should be increased quarterly, while bonuses should be paid them even if they're not doing the job. They defend themselves with the idea that government work shouldn't be taken seriously and that the job is tiresome hence the bad attitude to work. However, it's crazy when people fail to put in effort but expects the input to be massive. I live in a country where constituted authorities want you to bribe them to do their jobs. I remembered the school I attended, the officers in so many parastatals are always asking you to tip them else they wouldn't do their job.
Some of them feel that you're on the outside, hence you're expected to be rich and why wouldn't you give them part of this money? The police want you to bribe them, the customs officers, and the officers at the airport want you to give them money before they can be nice to you, making it seem like, paying people to do the jobs they're already paid to do. But what do I know? Some people are obsessed with ROI and unrealistic ways to make money where no expectations are required of them. This means for almost nothing, people want to get much. While it might be natural that we want our efforts to be multiplied when it comes to results, it's uncommon and crazy to expect maximum yields from almost no effort.
Wen Causality?
The Entitlement level of some people is crazy, sometimes we don't attach causality to some of the most basic things of life, we don't think smart work or hard work is proportional to success anymore, and we have more people who are vested in the possibilities they might get lucky and win so big that they don't have to work in their lives anymore. This sentiment is shared by people who think they have the natural embodiments and hence good things should automatically happen to them. I have been in situations where female colleagues expect me to pay their dues because they feel they're the feminine gender and deserve their bills being paid for them. I've known women who rely on their beauty to get jobs or cut corners.
The Concept Of "Give & Take"
This is even fair, I know some women who think they don't deserve to work because they're beautiful, and thus they automatically deserve a man that's rich and willing to afford their excesses. This is why some people don't think they need to embody any sort of external value because they feel they are the "value" I come from a family where no one wants to be responsible for you, but they want you to be responsible to them. They feel you're fortunate if you can afford to feed and pay rent and hence you should be able to foot some of their bills. It all stems from the mentality of society. Some people don't understand the fundamentals of "give and take" originally, we're meant to give off value in other to receive value in another form we choose. Because we're humans, sometimes we mostly change this narrative which isn't bad.
But what makes it bad?
For example, giving to the less privileged is an act of kindness that doesn't work with the principle of causality. I had this person I'd always pay part of his fees in school, clothing, feeding, and all.
But I did this not because he eschewed a value that needed to be rewarded, but because it was an act of kindness to someone in need. It got to a time, he became entitled to this goodwill and I had to remind him that it was an act of kindness and not because he deserved it. Some human mentalities are messed up, this is why we need the right enforcement to act as a sort of reminder. (This is getting too long, expect a part two soon)
