Some days ago, I talked about a default sense of entitlement in this post but this wasn't particularly related to money or earning what one isn't deserved of. The gift of life itself is an inalienable right to a person who has been born and shouldn't be taken away, hence, everyone who is born is deserved of the chances or opportunities to actually thrive.
Thriving in life is more than actually living. The gift of life accords us our consciousness, the consciousness is how we get to relate with life in general, our society, the environment and others who are endeared towards us. This means the more our consciousness begins to develop, we by we begin to cherish the essence of life.
Originally, no one chooses to be born, but if people have the opportunity to be born, would you have people who would rather choose not to be born? This question is completely rhetorical and only for purpose of emphasis. Nevertheless, people only begin to wish they weren't born if the condition or circumstances that surrounds their lives aren't really favorable.
When the situation changes for the better, you'll a positive change to this mentality. For example, people who find no essence to their existence do not wish to live forever, but people who are probably in the position of power or have made so much money that they cannot spend on one lifetime would wish there was something like immortality pill which they can purchase that can make them live forever.
The development of our consciousness is what gives us a vivid definitely of what life is. In fact, when we begin to achieve clarity of the universe that surrounds us, this is when we begin to take note of the different aspects of the lives of other people around us.
Some people are born and the moment they begin to pay cognizance to their internal and external realities, they begin to hate or love the lives they were born into. However, the fact that we don't 100% make the choices in our lives, do you think we deserve better being that we didn't choose whatever lot befalls us? Yes!
Like I said earlier, being born directly gives us alienable rights and one of such rights is to been born in favorable conditions that might require us to actually make meaning of our existence. Sex is the primary way to bring a person to life, but the complexity that surrounds the development of a life is a complex aspect of our reality.
While sex is easy, how about the choice, the decisions to carry the resultant effect of unprotected sex? This means that making the choice to bring a human being to life is very easy, what's difficult is shouldering the responsibility of being a parent in all the necessary ramifications of life.
This is why some people who are born into hardship are always angry, frustrated and regretful.
Subconsciously some of these feelings are conceived from the notion that the choices to be born aren't of their own making and hence they deserved better. These feelings are legit, there are stages in life where someone is responsible for us and there are times when we in turn become responsible for another person, the people or things that we automatically become responsible for, do not choose to be in this position, rather, it's mostly out of circumstance.
This is why people feel deserved when they're at the receiving end of an act of responsibility, because it wasn't their choice to select to be in that position. There are times in life where people do everything to change situations in their lives and when it isn't working, then something must take the blame. We lay blames on things, people or events to ease ourselves off the pressure of being at fault or being wrong.
However, experiencing life and all its sweetness is the best feeling ever.
We cannot fail to acknowledge that there's pain in the world. In fact, reality is harsh and unfair, and sometimes it makes us doubt if life is good enough to live and not throw it all away due the challenges we do through. Life can be inadequate and sometimes someone, somewhere, is the reason why this inadequacy is heightened.
In our feeling our entitlement, it's important to reckon with our powerlessness to change some certain things about life in general. However, because we're powerless against some vices of life, does this necessarily mean we should stop living? Of course, no.
There's no feeling that can surpass the feeling of being alive and even if we didn't choose to be, or someone else made that choice for us, the truth is, life is a gift, and sometimes it feels like a curse, but deep down in our struggles, it's important to nurture the motivation to see the blessings that are resultant from being alive.
