Do Aries always believe that they are entitled to have everything and anything they want? If so, do Aries understand that in order to get what they want, they have to work for it instead of waiting for the sky to open and have it fall on their lap? If so, are Aries willing to work for it and do whatever it takes?
Aries and Entitlement
Interesting question truthseeker!
Me being an Aries I can honestly say that I have never had to "work" for anything in my life - it just comes to me. Why? because this to me is Faith...believing in the knowing that the best will come to me and it does. This comes from the inner child part of us...remember when you were little and you believed in Santa Clause, the toothfairy, the easter bunny? They showed up for you didn't they? and why? because you "believed" it would happen. This comes from our thoughts. Aries are moment livers...we just have this knowing that everything will work out and it will be fine and ya know what? it is! A lot also has to do with how we percieve life and our experiences.
Everyone on this planet is entitled to have everything and anything they want. Why would one think otherwise....if you do, then you may be thinking less of yourself that you do not deserve it and well all do deserve the best. You deserve the best in a relationship correct? a job? a home?
"If so, are Aries willing to work for it and do whatever it takes?" when we find that thing that lights our fire we are 100% in it however, it will not seem like "work" to us....but, "play" We are here to have fun at whatever we do...and by golly I know with myself and other Aries - if something is no longer "fun" to us, we are exiting stage left.
Have you ever seen a kid do something he hates? no, why? what for? what purpose will it serve besides bringing resentment or unhappiness?
I have a Leo friend who is miserable in her job...she has more health issues than a dog with fleas. She is lacking the gumption to leave her miserable job and go do what her passion is. My question is, why do people choose to live this way? because they feel they deserve it? lack of confidence, courage? I dunno.
All about choices and how one wants to live this life while they are here on Planet Earth. 😉

Troubles with the man again, Truthie? Seriously .. everyone should just be gay, lol.

TS, MOST Aries I know are arrogant and feel entitled to whatever / whomever they want when they want it. Sometimes they get it through strong will power (read: intimidation); sometimes through plain ol' hard work; sometimes through force of whatever kind they can think of. Unfortunately MOST Aries I know are immature. The mature ones tend to be more sensitive and thoughtful to others and not as overwhelming as often. I have met very few MATURE Aries because MOST Aries get away with getting their own way all their life. BTW, I'm an Aries---so I try to recognize those undesireable traits when they pop up.
Atom...just out of curiousity, why do you view Aries as "arrogant" for feeling entitled for what they want? This is everyones birthright.
We each are here to create our life...if we do it with love and compassion and truly do what it is in our heart, what is possibly "arrogant" about that?
Do you see children as "arrogant?" persistance is a wonderful quality....nothing would get done without it. We are the doers, the action people!

I have to agree with Atom, unfortunately I lived with a march 21st a real Aries for 4 years and what an Aries very strong on all the negative and positive traits that you all know, absolutely arrogant, selfish and immature (very childish in a good way and in a very manipulative way as well.
Do you see children as "arrogant?"
Sorry all you Aries nice people out there, I have to disappoint you firebird but you are not a child and another thing is been arrogant and know about it and be proud of it and another thing is know about it and be fair to others taking responsibility for your actions you Aries might have some child spirit within yourself so is the rest of the world but we all grow up at some point or at least age.

at any cost, no matter what or who gets in the way, How would you call that??
What do you think about consideration to others?
No intensions to be rude but we all have wonderful traits any sign if you know yourself and make the best of it!

no worries haubli - you have not disapointed me in the least.
Once you understand the Aries personality you may have a better understanding - or not...we are children at heart and always will be. We see the good in the world just as a child does. Just because of this does not mean we have to "grow up" I am probably much older than you are and have done quite a bit with my life - but it is my spirit that is young and will remain young. I love people, I will do anything for anyone but...I cannot lie to myself and pretend to be someone I am not. An Aries has a "free spirit" and there are many people out there that have a difficult time understanding this - just as they have a difficult time understanding the needs of a child.
Sorry to hear about your experience with your Aries - we are not all the same 😉
"at any cost, no matter what or who gets in the way, How would you call that??
What do you think about consideration to others?"
First of all, no one has ever gotten in my way. What do you mean by getting in my way? I prefer to work with people, share ideas, compromising-
What do I think about the consideration of others? I respect others very much, their opinions, their lives, and who they are.
Hopefully, this makes more sense to you and I did not take your post as being rude 😉

Thank you firebird we can be friends! it is wonderful to see the world like a child do but from my experience with an Aries, he did looked at the world with a child's eyes the problem is that we all need to see the same so he can be happy or obtain what he wants if he doesn't get what he wants, watch out! Here comes the kid with his tantrum and as adult that doesn't look too good RIGHT! I hope you don't have tantrums when you don't get what you want, I like to add that you are one lucky person that everything had come to you easy, hope it continues that way and all the people around you are happy as well.
"Here comes the kid with his tantrum and as adult that doesn't look too good RIGHT!" Agreed
"you are one lucky person that everything had come to you easy" Also Agreed.
Thanks for the comments, everyone. I see everyone's point, but agree, more so, with Solitas.
FB, you are right, everyone deserves to be happy and have good things in their lives, i.e., relatioinship, job and home. However, feeling entitled goes against the laws of nature, and faith in oneself. It is our faith that awards us our liberities and not the idea that we are entitled to it. Who the hell are we but mere creations of the Almighty. However, if feeling entitled helps one to see a goal come to its fruition, then so be it.
I, too, can say that everything has come easy to me. I had a great support system in the family, a good upbringing and a good education. Most people couldn't say the same. Everything I accomplish, I do because I want to and put forth the NECESSARY effort. My question regards that "necessary effort." The belief that if you want something, you gotta work for it (and I don't necessarily mean HARD-GRUELING work, but work that is necessary whether you like it or no).
I'm not have issues w/ my Aries, P. Mainly just trying to grasp yet another layer of his personality. He's basically stuck in a rut, right now. I try to support him when he's down, but it's hard for me to believe that someone could exude such self pity, blaming anything but himself for his own lousy situation. My Aries sister is the same way. E.g. of my thinking...I hate my job, but it pays for my degree (along w/ the luxuries that I enjoy). Therefore, I gotta stick it out until I'm done. My Aries hates that he's broke and wants to save money to go to school...why not get another job (no matter how much you hate it)? That's my point, you gotta work for the things you want...why is this so hard for Aries to not just do, but comprehend?

truthseeker and solitas,100% with you

"why is this so hard for Aries to not just do, but comprehend?"
It's NOT hard for them to comprehend and do .. however, they require alot of nurturing with recieving their "pity-strokes" from their partners .. which is something they give readily back to their partners .. apart of thier nature to prove loyalty. I know you don't like to hear this, for I've told you before, Truthseeker, Leo's aren't so good in this department .. they are very demanding .. and I understand where this is coming from, I honestly do .. it's for the sake of trying to get him to realize that it's up to him to push forward in life and it's for his own good to be the sound of reason and practicality .. however, you have to remember .. he already knows this.
The Aries is quite intelligent, logical and rational .. it's about his NEED for getting the attention that he craves .. he wants you to follow his lead, not put him on a lead ..
It's frustrating, I'm sure .. I find the same sort of situation with my Virgo .. he knows godddammm well what is suppose to happen, but, he HAS to be prodded. It can be infuriating at times .. so, I know it's a thorn in the side.
I know you will deny what I said, but, you're a Leo and you said, "I try to support him when he's down, but it's hard for me to believe that someone could exude such self pity, blaming anything but himself for his own lousy situation."
By saying, "try", "but" .. suggests that you are losing patience and are becoming your natural Lioness self .. you see the err and have a need to push him into what you know is right.
Damn Aries .. you have to love them .. and hate them .. for this .. because it's all because they need so much compassion and care, even when they are wrong.
It's difficult in a relationship when both people want to be the leaders .. at some point, one person has to concede and follow.
Keep trying, Truth, he's a good man and you've put a lot of time and attention into this relationship.

Wow P...for the first time I completely and wholeheartedly agree w/ you because I never looked at it that way. Especially this part "I understand where this is coming from, I honestly do .. it's for the sake of trying to get him to realize that it's up to him to push forward in life and it's for his own good to be the sound of reason and practicality .. however, you have to remember .. he already knows this." I sometimes forget...
and this part..."The Aries is quite intelligent, logical and rational .. it's about his NEED for getting the attention that he craves .. he wants you to follow his lead, not put him on a lead" Never realized that.
I still don't think that I'm demanding...but I guess it's because I have high expectations for myself, thus expect it of others, and in doing so...it turns out to be demanding. I was ready to give him one of my iron fisted pep-talks...but I think I'll just let this one slide:-)

Don't give up on him, Truthie .. I just know from all the things you've said about him that he absolutely adores you .. he's worth the extra effort .. any man who cherishes his woman like he does you, is worth climbing the highest mountain for.
When you feel at your wits end .. we'll be here for you ..

No, haubli - I do not have "tempertantrums" when I don't get what I want - I always do get what I need though 😉
"However, feeling entitled goes against the laws of nature, and faith in oneself. It is our faith that awards us our liberities and not the idea that we are entitled to it."
TS - me thinks the Almighty wants and desires the best for his children - it is us who needs to believe in ourselves for this to happen. We are here to live in joy and for each one of us - this will have it's own meaning. I wish you the best with your Aries men...P-Angel knows what she is talking about in regards to the Aries. We need to know that someone believes in us and will be there to climb that mountain (rams are climbers and will climb to the highest peak - never giving up) and in return, you will have the most loyal, loving, fun loving, partner to share life with.

TS....I did not mean - Aries men but, *aries MAN*
Hmmmm. Clarifying "arrogance." Yes, we are all entitled to live our lives, make our own decisions, have our own will. It's when a person doesn't care who he hurts or what he (or she) destroys to make that happen in their lives---THAT's arrogance (usually tied to EGO) and, er, igorance at the same time. My viewpoint.

I don't feel entitled to anything, but if you have it, I ask for it nicely but you don't give it to me, I'll take the shit.
I, like Freebird, feel that I usually just get what I want, though sometimes I have to be patient.
