They were the best. The Elite of society. They were used to getting their way. Anything they would imagine, they would get.
Yet, over time, they forgot. They forgot how to be kind.
One day, things changed for them.
“?” They thought, “Why would someone different than me get what I deserve.” (Self entitlement. Taking things for granted). They didn’t deserve it anymore. They had lost their empathy.
They didn’t know it. They didn’t like it.
Yet they were given a gift. A great gift.
The gift of being humbled.
Never again would they get what they wanted. Never again.
Though, they got what they needed.
They became poor, they entered into poverty, which they would never escape.
After much time, they learned to appreciate the small things, the gifts given to them by generous people.
Eventually, they relearned how to be empathetic.
Lesson: Do not take anything for granted, ever.
