As I was meditating early this morning, the idea of entitlement came up
and I thought that this would be a good topic to write about. Many
people today have a strong sense of entitlement - I am owed this, I
deserve that. None of us are entitled to, or deserve that magnificent sunset or the
wondrous view of trees dressed in dazzling snow. It is given to us as a
gift to enjoy and to appreciate. Viewing the world from a stance of
gratitude instead of a sense of entitlement would make for a happier and
more harmonious planet - and we individually would be happier and more
content.

The song of birds in the morning, the timeless rhythm of waves crashing to the shore, the awesome night sky with stars sparkling - these are given freely for each of us to enjoy whether it be you or I, or the hardened criminal. None of us deserves or is entitled to the wonders of nature. It is all a magnificent gift, freely given for us to enjoy! Now that is unconditional generosity!
In gratitude for nature's gifts freely bestowed,
Marg
