...because he had such a negative attitude. At least that's some of what I took away from his manifesto. He left me with the impression he didn't want to spend the time and effort to cultivate the things he wanted, he simply wanted it all handed to him. He was destined to fail with that sucky attitude.
I am always telling my kids that you don't get anywhere in life with out hard work. My kids can have a sense of entitlement at times. We have been very blessed. But I remind thrm that I have worked my ass off for it. Worked, saved, invested. No one appreciates it when everything is handed to them.
There was no mention that this kid worked. Yet he drove a BMW. I'm not trying to blame the parents but it does appear this kid was given a lot. Couple that with whatever mental illness this kid had and he was a mess.
