We humans make the biggest mistake of judging people by what they can offer, it gets bad when people feel they are entitled to what you have because they have a strong relationship with you. Some people just believe that being close to someone gives them a guarantee benefits.
Life have shown us that things weren't the way we expected it to be. You can ask for something and not get it, even from the person that is close to you.

You must understand that what you are asking for does not belong to you and there is no guarantee that you will have it. People has been misled by this believe, that is why we find so many broken relationship today, which is definitely as a result of entitlement.
It is the decision to give or not to give because no one own you a dime. No matter who you are, the condition or situation you are in does not assure you that someone is going to help you, it is a mindset that you must develop.
choice
If you are being helped by someone just see it as a favour received, and not as something that you deserve or is guaranteed, whether it is from your parents, loved ones, friends don't ever attachment to it because they choose to do it.
There are people who will never understand this because they grew up from rich homes, and they are always surrounded with people that give them what want always whenever they need it. They having taking all this for granted and sometimes they feel they deserve more than that.
If only you can look around you and see people who are suffering around the street and neighborhood. Not that these people suffering do not have family or loved ones, or they are poor, jus that they are unfortunately surrounded with people who have choosen not give and they never felt entitlement because it was their own choice to do that.
The lesson is that you should realize that the love you get is not an entitlement. People choose to love you and they can decide to hate you at any point in time, you can change or do anything about that. No man owes you nothing.
We take things for granted too much, sometimes people pass through a lot just to give us what we want and make us happy and all we do is to ask for more. let me not even talk about people who abandoned their parents who suffered for them to be were they are right now. That's evil.
We must be matured to not allow entitlement blind us from seeing that the help we get from others is our right or privilege. Although you deserve to be loved and betaken care of, but what happens if we don't get all this should we blame others for that?
All these entitlement is what we humans developed over time, especially when we use to get something from others and we no longer receive it again. No own owes you a dime as I said earlier, if you are loved appreciate it, because not everyone is loved, if you are give a gift always thank the person, for everything you get is privilege of what others cannot have or afford.
Giving is a choice, entitlement is a curse.
