Little Entitlement, Big Blindness

In the short story “The Possibility of Evil”, Shirley Jackson enunciates the point that a sense of entitlement ,no matter where it comes from, it gives a false perspective about the world and ourselves and horrible events may come of it.

My grandmother planted these roses, and my mother tended them, just as I do. I 've watched my town grow”. Ms. Strangeworth
