"[The author has been writing of people striving for “this fleeting sense of being part of something greater and more unknowable than themselves”] And entitlement strips this away from us. The gravity of entitlement sucks all attention inward, toward ourselves, causing us to feel as though we are at the center of all of the problems in the universe, that we are the one suffering all of the injustices, that we are the one who deserves greatness over all others."
