Millennials came of age just as the old promises began to be broken. Millennials were told that they were special, that the world was their oyster, and that they were entitled to success. Millennials are upset that the promises are not coming true. They despise religion and foster resentment towards the institutions. A German would say that this is nothing compared to losing everything in the war, experiencing the division of one´s country, years of famine, war crimes committed by Russian soldiers, and building from scratch. Germans do not believe that anyone is entitled to anything apart from human dignity. Disappointment is a normal response and can be worked through. Entitlement is a prideful belief that one is owed something.
