entitlement 2

Entitlement is an attitude that says you have a right to recieve something. In looking it up in the Dictionary, it's also a term the government uses to address things that should be guaranteed to a citizen. That's how this world works - everyone's got a right to this or that and it's all based on how each person views something. There's no absolute standard, I'm no more right than you are wrong; I wouldn't even be able to say that you are wrong, because in your special grand scheme of things you are right.

On the other hand, there's someone called God, and the spiritual is just as real as the material. You know the ozone layer exists even though it cannot be seen, and bacteria exist in uncooked food even though you can't see it, feel it, or taste until it's too late. Same with God, you can ignore His commandments and precepts and have your "fun" and raise "hell," but once you die, then you will see, hear, know the consequences. You only know the difference until it's too late. This isn't about entitlement, but merit. Have you lived a life that merits eternal reward or punishment? Do you merit eternal reward after a little purgatorial refinement, or straight to punishment?
