    I never said I was entitled to anything
    You specifically, no, but it was a general statement, not one specifically to you. Go look at all the other fix relic threads. They definitely have a sense of entitlement issue.

    Real Life Comparison:

    You spend 6 years saving up to buy a nice house. It is a lot of work, but you are happy with your decision. Your look at your neighbor's home, and decide to start a conversation because it is larger and is aesthetically nicer. You assume they have worked longer than you, and thus have also earned it. When speaking with them, you learn that you are relatives, and they were left the house in a will for an uncle you both knew quite well (despite never seeing each other). Would you not feel the least bit entitled to the nicer home, considering the relative did almost nothing compared to you?

    Not at all. And any real life compairison to justify a digital one is a bad example.

    Funny thing about human emotion, it isn't bound by programming code. Why wouldn't you feel entitled? You knew the uncle very well, and for the sake of argument, they spent less time with him. You essentially wasted 6 years, when you could have had one for nearly nothing like the relative.

    You're claiming I should just sit around and wait for to drop into my lap out of some sense of self entitlement.
    It's that same sense self entitlement that lead to this thread's creation.

    No, its that same sense of anger and betrayal that started this thread. You loved your uncle, and this other relative you've never met is given something your uncle knew you were saving to get. He could have left it to you, but instead he allowed you to spend all that time and energy going into something that is now actually less.

    That's still misguided self entitlement.

    And, mayeb the uncle know you were better off. Maybe your cousin is too stupid to do thing for themself and needed all the help they could get.(No, that's not a game analogy. It's a realistic view of the situation you put forth.)

    That's entitlement, buddy. There's nothing that says he has to give you anything at all.

    Not at all. Why would I care that someone got their house willed to them? That has 0 to do with me. If I wasn't such an Ahole, maybe my uncle would have left me something, but I'm not in any way shape or form entitled to him leaving me something.
