True, but to feel entitled to it as opposed to feeling that you deserve it
are two separate things.  I feel the world owes us nothing regardless how
hard we work.  Perhaps people owe people, but part of that is our own
responsibility to work that out.  I'm probably doing it the hardest possible
way, as far outside the 'system' as I can.
