The Entitlement Mentality

America is a scandal to the world. We are the world’s largest “consumer” society, selfishly using more than our fair share of the earth’s resources. We are self-indulgent, mean-spirited, and intolerant.  Other nations are so much “fairer” – health care, food, housing, education, vacations…all given on the basis not of what a person has “earned” as much as what our common humanity demands we share equally and all around.

That, at least, is the mantra of the rest of the world:  America the home of rugged individualism and nasty small-mindedness.

Dr. John Agresto for the Third Eye: "One of your pieces inspired me to write an article of my own."

After I shared my MEPI experience in a series memoirs in the Third Eye, Dr. John Agresto, the former provost of the AUI-S, was inspired by my U.S memoir and wrote his own article quoting several words of it.

 The Third Eye will publish Dr. John's article with great honor. The Third Eye is always looking forward to hearing from the great people like Dr. John. We, on behalf of the Third Eye, thank Dr. John in deep of our heart for his consideration about us, the AUI-S students. Dr. John left AUI-S with a spirit that will never let any of the AUI-S members forget him.

It is worth mentioning that Dr. John has sent his best regards and wishes  for all the AUI-S students. On behalf of the AUI-S students, the Third Eye is so grateful toward all the kind words and support support that Dr. John has provided AUI-S so far. We are really looking forward to meeting Dr. John at AUI-S again.  

Below is the e-mail  Dr. John has sent to the Third Eye.
