RE: Go out and earn it, so people can´t say you were given shit

in #philosophy7 years ago

I certainly agree. However, I think it's not all black and white :) It's more about priorities and what you value most. You can do everything yourself, but you don't have to. Help can be great, but not something to brag about. It more depends on whether the person is willing to do their best in what they do and to give help to the next person that can benefit from the help or needs it. I think the mindsets of earning what you own vs believing you deserve everything is from the upbringing at home more than culture or religion. Also I suppose those who don't value earning everything themselves, may have other good values that make up for it :) Afterall we are programmed before we are even born with genes and then early ages of upbringing and environmen. This shapes us the most for the rest of our lives. Some of us are lucky enough to be who we are, personality and values wise. Understanding is a step forward.
