“Entitlement was, she knew, a terrible thing. It chained the person to their victimhood. It gobbled up all the air around it. Until the person lived in a vacuum, where nothing good could flourish.

The sore point became their family legend, their myth, their legacy. What they lost became their most prized possession. Their inheritance.”
