Entitlement:
the belief that one is inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment.
the fact of having a right to something.

Power:
legal or official authority, capacity, or right.
ability to act or produce an effect.
possession of control, authority, or influence over others.

Tolerance:
the ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.

How do these nouns relate to what going on in our world right now?
There are people protesting for the government to open businesses of convenience and luxury. Displaying their guns, signs, and utter disrespect for people who disagree with them and some who represent the medical occupations who work with those affected.

Where does this come from?
Selfishness, even though that is the same sentiment which is tossed back at the other side.
Greed to keep open the businesses that are making money, but may have not planned for an extended closure or the simple fact they want to keep making money to maintain status quo.

What am I getting at?
These values are based in human nature and we have to fight against the ones which only destroy others and ultimately our own self. We must grow the ones which give love, peace, and grace to all including our own self.
