No One Owes You Anything

This is largely accurate but does not capture the exceptions to this great truth. To get a handle on these exceptions, let me enumerate a few of them.

First, parents owe you food, shelter and emotional support as they raise you.

Second, your neighbors owe you space to self-actualize, not restricting your God-given right to do your own thing. They are not to lay obstacles in front of you, impeding your progress, undoing your creative work, competing with you out of jealousy.

Third, herd-huggers owe it to you not to interfere with your maverizing.

Beyond this point, you are on your own, and, if you are able-bodied and mentally well, you should make it on your own.
