In life it seems that those who have get more. Celebrities who have riches are given free gifts. In business, those with the highest incomes get the biggest perks and often the best benefits. I've been thinking about the power and influence of privilege lately. On the plane ride back from South Africa I read a six hundred page fiction book titled: free food for millionaires. It is a fiction novel based on the life of a first generation immigrant from Korea. It got me thinking...
Do you think that those who have privilege realize they're privileged?
generally, i don't think so. those who are privileged are generally more under the "im entitled to having this" mentality because of always having, all their lives. oblivious to the rest of the world drowning around them.
