Entiled - Entitlements

In my own life, as a pre-millenial, post gen X, [which really only accounts for like a span of 6-8 years in the early to mid 80's] it seems that I have dug myself into known entitlements throughout the year.  Entitlements like bonuses, tax returns, savings account growth, etc, have all taken root in my daily and year to year finances to incorporate a need for the system as well as these entitlements.

However, these entitlements that I know look to less as unexpected "blessings" but as expected entitlements to be received from year to year as yearly financial buoys to rest laurels on and/or waste away with the need of the day.

While I've earned these entitlements, walking with the Entitled, I am also deriving a need for given entitlements, whether earned or not.

Just a thought as I try to pen thoughts to fight a war against the Entitled.

Or slowly drift into the ways of the Entitled. 

Entitled - Ability and Past Accomplishments

Should ability, and I guess, more so past accomplishments, based on ability, dictate entitlements?

They do.

In many cases.

In other cases, maybe the visibility isn't there, or the ability to connect the needs to the given abilities.

Easy example of the visbility of the entitled are sports stars, while not as any an example are those with the abilities that are not reaching their share of entitlements.

Should ability dictate entilements, because what is ability but experience built on past accomplishments with the expectation of a level of ability?

Should the question be pared back down to look at should there be entitlements at all?

If entitlements are due, to marry that with ability and accomplishment, in the end, does make the most sense.  And maybe thats, like a similar situation I had at work today to define a characterizing metric, the only best method to rationalize and move forward with a baseline of where and how to attribute entitlements

Entitled - Motivation, Distraction, Entitlement, and the Mighty Dollar

Im trying to find motivation and time to pen thoughts that maybe could one day be compiled into a book.

Between taking one or even multiple or even thousands, which I do not have, blog posts, does not make a book.

Nonetheless, as I look for this motivation or time to try and compile any coherent thought, I am easily whisked away into the world of social media and back to the celebrities.  I cant lie, I love mma, and particularly the UFC, and am that mark.  I am that guy, minus any money they get from me is very limited.  

But still a big fan.

Is fan just another word for being distracted by those that are entitled, as they have proven to us, in word or action, or look.  That they are of superiority, thus we must watch every move, or maybe that's just a common trait, that we as humans are attracted via our attention, time, and in the end, dollars, are filtered to these folks.

Again, Im a fan of the UFC, and they get little money from me.

But there are many and I am a fan of many things where my time and attention is easily spent, and, even me, in the end, will spend money that filters to these folks, these already entitled being justified through continued financial gain and growth.

I suppose I, like many of us on this side of the fence of the un-entitled, will continue to gaze over the fence in awe.  Wasting what purpose we were meant for, possibly to gain rank within the entitled, but to at least justify our un-entitled, earned means.

I also suppose the entitled would cry work, ethic, and overall damnation of everyone not in the group.

What what excuse is need if you have entitlement.
