OK, forget our parents. Does the WORLD owe you/us anything?


Hi.

OK so we've established that, besides it being neither allowed NOR encouraged, as kids, in early or later years, we are NOT supposed to demand from parents say money, material, home renovation with top wallpaper and well painted ceilings, new cars, convenient attitudes, nice food in all cases etc etc etc.

But what about the WORLD IN GENERAL?

People on the internet? (Hey, indulge us please, and if we do something wrong, forgive us, maybe even delete in friendly ways some posts we made that HAPPENED to be offensive even if it WAS intended as a joke?) Don't hold grudges among us, give us pats on the backs, friendly advices, convenient explanation (remember, neither of us ARE real offenders) and display attitude that is nice, friendly and relatable in all cases.

Get us good jobs with tons of money. Maybe even so we can be rich on the dole. Be nice to us in all cases, indulge us. Friendly bosses.

Love our films and our music. Also, if people say something unconventional or different about certain subject matter, and we also don't defend it even under THOSE circumstances, DON'T GET MAD, provide nice, helpful and convenient explanation, NEVER be blunt. Hey, let's all enjoy life altogether, WHY THE FLYING MONKEYS NOT?

Strangers? VERY HELPFUL in ALL cases. Lost direction. Food. Presents.
Friends? Best ever.
School and university? No bullying at all. Very friendly and nice teachers. Convenient atmospheres.

Home, Ferrari, beautiful gardens.

Yeah, WORLD, COME ON, cut us some slack please. You OWE us it all, right?

(Hahahahahahahahahaha. :) :) :) )

No. The world owes us nothing. We must earn whatever we get. Why would you even ask such an goofy question?

Curiosity, really, and also - wondering if I am the only one who knows and believes this or if there is an alternative truth out there on the matter, even if there isn't?

Plus, in last few years especially, I have personally been rather bogged down by life's difficulties and personal insecurities, I was never really able to either achieve greatness in life nor feel content and happy with who I am.

Conflicts with people are strictly not for me. Also, even with hard work and whatnot I hardly got much anywhere in life.

And thus why in a dreamy mental state I wonder if MAYBE world owes me anything, however small, albeit sadly...
