Many people feel they are entitled to a lot of things. When you've worked hard all your life and struggled to get where you are you know that this is the thing that actually strengthens you.
I wouldn't say woe betide because that is where they are heading to with such expectations.
Anything gained through hard work gives a different sort of taste and satisfaction.
It's a pity that many people will never get to see it this way because they want the whole world to fall on their feet.
