"entitlement"....

In this age of the millennial, I believe the biggest detriments that affect us as a society (as well as our individually selves) would be the sense of "entitlement" that exists amongst the population. Entitlement being: Wealth without work; Pleasure without conscience; Knowledge without character; Commerce without mortality; Science without humility; Worship without sacrifice; & Politics without principles. Getting everything without giving back is simply a recipe for disaster; as is "expecting" to be given everything on a platter. As the old Russian proverb states, "There is no free lunch." We must work for what we want....and that includes our faith.
