When I was a kid I had great parents who always gave me opportunity, encouraged me, never abused me even when I failed, but was also told at times children are to be seen not heard, behave when you're told to, don't be rude. We grew up instinctively to toe the line when told, to respect authority but not be afraid of it. But not for the last few decades and people are surprised when selfishness rules? We sowed entitlement into general society some tome ago and now we bear its fruit.
