'"Privileged" is a relative term. Personally I don't consider privileged as necessarily being born into unfair advantage, or something that you shouldn't have. It's about not being born into a situation of inherent disadvantage.
Think of it this way: we all have to run through an obstacle course. This is life. We could choose different paths with different obstacles we may or may not know about. But there's a catch: Some people are forced to run the all spaces between the same obstacles, but through water. The amount of water you don't have to run through is the privilege you have.'"
The heartbreaking truth is that some people are inherently born into water, and face a dangerous current that threatens to sweep away life.
