The best thing about difficult times is that they tease out the very worst things in you -- the things you'd otherwise never be privy to. Today, the hidden beast that was aroused was Entitlement.
What's funny (if that's the word) to think about is that while we're on this earth and can lay claim to absolutely nothing, we feel entitled to everything. Yet when this grumbling, inexorable monster is finally slain is when that very monstrosity will be made right. That will be the day when we will truly be entitled to everything -- all the best things beyond our feeble desires now -- and will actually have it in abundance.
See -- even now, the evil in me that I so tearfully hate is turned into a seed of something that I will so tearfully love.
