You can enjoy what you have while still looking to improve it. I don't follow your argument that just because people want further improvement they are somehow "entitled". Just because something is better than the past doesn't mean we should be happy with it. I'm happy I'm not a slave, but that isn't my minimum bar for happiness just because it was for someone in the past. "Entitlement" seems to be the new way of telling our young people that they don't deserve to get anything better than (or even the same as) what their elders got. I don't buy that. I think my life is great, and I'm happy with what I have - that doesn't mean I'm going to stop trying to improve my life and the lives of others. Yes, knowing your history is important, for many reasons, but suggesting that we are "entitled" because we want to improve things further just sounds like trying to pull others down to your level out of jealousy.
