I can't like this comment enough. It's not that we feel special, we just want what our parents didn't have, we want to improve our station in life. This is natural. This is evolution at work. Our parents wanted the same thing, they wanted stability when our grandparents grew up in recession after recession, war after war, plague after plague.
People have the audacity to say that we should accept stagnation without trying? That line of thinking is what is wrong with the world today.
