There is no word in the english language I loathe more than the word "deserve." It has become so overused, so much so that I would love to permanantly remove it from the dictionary. It makes me cringe. I do understand varying worth ethics and wanting to be awarded recognition for your hard work. I still feel there are better words than deserve. It's such a selfish word. Why are we so quick to say we deserve something over another? Is there, no doubt, someone else out there more deserving than us? Everytime I use the word, it makes me feel like I'm wishing misery on someone else. If I look at the big picture, I don't feel like I deserve anything in life. I'm grateful for what I have and have been given. Nothing is owed me, nor am I entitled to it because I want it or someone else has it and I don't.
At least I try to remember this....
