    Re: I didnt know where to put this... selfish or not? (Long Post)

    Does this apply for people not looking for handouts, but just putting the opportunities there? I personally think the difference is that asking for handouts and begging is an active thing, where this would be a passive thing.
    Seems to me that your hypothetical scenario sound more and more like you wanting someones approval.

    There is no difference between active and passive, it's still asking for money, someone else's hard earned money.

    An opportunity would be for someone to invest in a business, not the case here it would be someone giving you money for YOU to benefit from it.

    You can call it whatever you want , an opportunity, something passive......it's still a handout, the difference is by calling it something else it makes you feel better, personally when I accomplish something I like to know that I did it on my own because of my hard work not because of someone else's.....than again I am old school and believe in hard work, not entitlement and free stuffs because I am special
