Justification

People often excuse selfishness, pride or the lack of loving actions toward others by claiming their rights. They may say things like, "It's time I get what I want." or, "I deserve this (self indulgence)."

Such people seem to think that rights - or entitlement - can trump virtue or obedience to God. but that is never the case. (It's a lie that they believe anyway though.)
