One of the most curious things I’ve noticed is just how contrary and opposite people can be.
Since moving back to my hometown, people are imbued with a great sense of entitlement. Rules for thee and rules for me.
One of the earliest examples was the managing agents of the apartment complex I live in decreeing that we had to ask permission of them to make changes to our properties. I instantly felt confused and annoyed by this imposition.
When you have a state saying everyone has ‘rights’, people push as far as they can to get their way.
Part of the problem is the dissolution of the notion of ‘property’ and of ‘privacy’. We all see and feel this. Nothing belongs to us, it’s absolutely be design but there is an unlawfulness about it and an injustice about it.
It’s why confidence and firmness are more important than ever!
