ABUSE OF PRIVILEGE

The funny thing about not knowing what you have is when you lose it, most privileged people don’t even know what it’s worth, trust me, I have been there.

You won’t know the value of natural free oxygen until they put you on a life support machine and you need to pay for every breathe you take.Life didn't give us equal opportunities, nobody will choose to be born into a poor home, a poor person sees it as a privilege for a rich kid to be born into wealth but the kid that was born into wealth will feel it is just a normal thing, he doesn't know better, even some holy books made that clear when it said some angels are favoured more than their peers, privilege is not self made, life just happens, the smartest scientist has no explanation for it. If all things were equal, I don't think there would be room for jealousy or hatred, we don't know why it is like that, maybe we will know when we go to the other side, The poor people think the rich people are wicked because they think they are being oppressed by the rich, give that same poor person a chance to be in the rich person's shoe, I promise you that even the devil himself will start to wonder where this person learnt his own wicked skills from, when they say money change people, they are not referring to people who have known and had money all along, it is the poor person, they also so say; the best way to test an individuals character is to give him small power or money, if he remains the same... It means it is really in his nature to be humble, not all humbleness are a 100% real, some humbleness are out of hunger and frustration. Poverty hides a persons true character because some people abuse privilege sometimes out of ignorance of not knowing they are different but those who have no privilege at all think the privileged people are arrogant and inconsiderate, we all reason differently, it's just how nature made it. Even in heaven there is classification, I pray we all know that; whether rich or poor, we are all privileged as long as we are healthy and still breathing, every other privilege comes when the primary ingredient is there and that is life, nobody is rich enough to afford it, else most people would have died long ago.

Privilege is priceless.
