ENTITLED TO BE HUMAN

1/9/2020

Artist: Leigh Matson

What does ‘entitled to be human’ mean? My understanding is that it means we are entitled to think whatever we like about our self or another, entitled to react, entitled to be better or lesser, to be judgemental, entitled to eat whatever the taste buds want even if it may not agree with the body, entitled to drive the body and override its messages – all of this shows us that the human being has a sense of entitlement at the expense of our body and our health.

As we age, the study of self becomes more meaningful, or perhaps it is just that we finally have the time for more self-reflection than we did when we were younger. In those younger years, we were working full time, raising the family, going on outdoor and definitely more physically challenging adventures. I wouldn’t have had a clue or the time to find a clue as to what self-entitlement meant when I was younger.

COMFORT IN OUR LATER YEARS – AN ENTITLEMENT?

As a student of The Way of The Livingness, and in my elder years, I am aware of the joy and sheer energy with which other students of this Way embrace life.

Two words were predominant in the discussion. entitlement and comfort.
