Now, don't think I am pointing my flawless finger at you acting like I am any better because I sure as heck know I am not. I am guilty of all those things and more and continue to have to fight to be a good person but I am sick of our generation acting as if they are entitled to the world. If I hear one more self-entitled rant come out of a 20-something's mouth I may snap. So time for a reality check, for all of us.
Living life anticipating things to just come your way and to have it play out exactly how you want it to is selfish. Women walk around expecting men to be a certain way, have certain qualities, and do all these extravagant things for them. This is one of the most irritating things to me because when you expect things out of people you are automatically setting them up for failure. They will never be, do, or say exactly what you want them to do. When that happens people simply walk away thinking that there is something better out there and that the next person will meet these unrealistic goals you have set for them. Newsflash, both of you are sucky people and will do sucky things sometimes and it is unfair for you to hold them to these expectations when you can't reach them either.
People get irritated when their job situation is not what they feel they are worthy of. They constantly think that simply because they want things to happen for them that it should just be that way. That person you think is so "lucky" because they always get the best jobs and live a charmed life are nothing more than blessed. They don't deserve those things just like you don't but by the grace of God they were given them.
You have been given the opportunity and blessing of finding true love, having a job, being financially successful but in no way do you DESERVE these things. The only thing we deserve is the opportunity to pursue happiness. But, happiness itself isn't something that we’re supposed to get. If you do a job for a set rate of pay, you deserve to get paid that amount. If you order food at a restaurant, you deserve to have that food delivered to you, and you also deserve for that food to be edible. But, you don’t deserve to like your job, and you don’t deserve to enjoy your food. Happiness, love...all of those are extras.
The word "expect" should be banned completely from the English vocabulary. It is a curse word and it causes more harm than good. It disappoints, it embarrasses, it frustrates, and it causes tension.
