The silver-spoon types always think,
well if I didn't get ahead the way I got ahead, I would have got ahead another way. They truly believe they've earned/deserved whatever they have. Or they think it's just in their wiring to be successful.
We're all like that to varying degrees, though. It's just dumb luck I'm sitting here safely in Calgary warm and well fed instead of scrambling around in a refugee camp fleeing Syria. I rarely stop to think about the giant leg up I've had relative to much of humanity.
