Reply to comment by MrCrash in I am worthy. [Image] by BodaciousRaven

are we seeing the same post?

cause on the sign I see, it says “You’re worthy of all the things you want”, not “I demand I get everything I want”.

again, the sign doesn’t say that.

not saying the sign is right in all scenarios, but it’s a surface message that you’re deliberately overgeneralizing lol. what do you expect? a list of exceptions in fine print?

You’re not just inherently worthy of all the things you want though now are you? You don’t deserve to be better than everyone else or have more power than them, despite however much you might want it.

You are probably not worthy of all the things you want, depending on what you want.

Most everyone who has ever lived has wanted things they should not have.

  1. “should have” and “deserve” are not inherently interchangeable.

  2. I didn’t say the sign is right in all cases either so….

You're getting downvoted, but you're absolutely correct.

Feeling like you are worthy of something is not the same thing as demanding it in an entitled way.

If you are closed-minded and constantly limiting yourself, the idea that someone would think this way would come off as offensive, so I'd take the critics here with a grain of salt.

Is the stalker worthy of the person they are stalking? Is the thief worthy of the things they have stolen?
