The thing itself speaks seemingly a truth though: growing up too coddled will risk a twisted perspective of what you deserve and what's a given.

Seemingly? Do you have any indication that this is a consistent pattern in the world outside of imagination?

Rich kids with inherited wealth are always perfectly fine and reasonable people?

They overwhelmingly do better than their poorer peers, yes. Anectdote vs statistics.

If you think that it's just an imagination, the universe will make you physically feel what it really is. Not all at once, but gradually, drop by drop. And then, you'll learn the true meaning of another "meme" word: ignorance.

Or you’ll find out that strong men thinking in memes create even worse times.

In any case, that's the beauty of life: we live the consequences. Both sweet and bitter, depending on choices of the past.

[kubb]

Most of what happens to us is by chance, not by choice. And when it's by choice, its often not our own choice.

[garganzol]

This is what they want you to believe. You are useful and convenient when you are malleable (to someone's else agenda aka "their choice"). Ideally, you should not practice any discernment at all, raise no questions, silence any suspicions. As if it's all by sheer coincidence and predefined by external forces ("chance").
