Perspective on Privilege: What Most People Take for Granted

You just opened this post.

That means you woke up today — 173,000 people didn't.

You remember yesterday — 55 million people with dementia don't remember theirs.

You see these words — 43 million people can't see light at all.

You can read them — 739 million adults can't read.

You've got a phone with internet in your hand — 2.2 billion people have never been online.

You've probably flown somewhere at least once — 8 out of 10 people never have.

You didn't earn any of this. You didn't choose it. It just happened — you were born here, now, and whole.

What's just an ordinary Thursday to you is someone else's prayer that never came true.
