This is a popular sentiment that I quite disagree with. It's certainly rarer to find perspective ingrained in a person not through experience but through innate wisdom, but ... never say never. Remember the example of Marcus Aurelius, who was literally the most powerful person on the face of the planet, and also, separately, perhaps the wisest. I've never used it, but I would guess that r/relationships will skew toward the entitled, for various reasons. In any case, to disprove an absolute I only have to name one example :) -- so I'll shut up now.A person to whom everything is freely given can never understand the value of those things.
