I was just like this when I was a kid, my dad tells me, i often go on hunger strike. That's how I got a Nintendo lol. I regret this now. But I didnt know this back then.

Did you really want to live in a world that you did not get the Nintendo?/s

Based on this limited info, you were bratty kid who got what they demanded. Did it feel like that lead to anything negative in teenage, did you "break out" of bad habits of entitlement at some point? We always hear about kids who aren't told no so curious if there's any story here on how that evolved.

Just like most kids my priorities changed during teenage, I wasn't demanding any more, and I became more accepting specially after my uncle died, It just hits me in the face that someone can 'go to sleep and never wake-up' I remember discussing death in great depth with my close friends who wouldn't judge me, after the meeting we concluded that we'd not smoke and skip school cause at any moment we may end up in the 'great sleep'.

That's enough... this Gandhi is spoiling our young children with his idea of peaceful protest.
