Seeing Life From A Different Perspective

in #hive-1679222 months ago

Have you ever tried to wonder what it would feel like seeing life from a privileged spoilt point of view? Imagine being born into wealth where you have everything you ever wanted given to you, you never had to struggle or suffer for anything, you wake up in the morning and your bath water is already prepared for you, you have a driver drive you in an exotic luxurious car to school, you went to one of the best schools for the elite where everyone in the school is as privileged as you. After school you go to your house in a neighborhood where all your neighbors are as privileged as you, so when it comes to the struggle of the low class or middle class life, you can’t relate.

So how do you see life when you find yourself in the midst of people that are at low or middle class. Do you think that at your privilege level you can relate or understand their struggles, just as a low class or middle class person can’t know or understand the struggles of an elite class person or fully understand their privilege. When an elite privileged class person is talking about their reality and lifestyle, to a low or middle class person they might consider it as bragging.

If roles were switched and the poor and rich kid had to switch places, a lot will be learnt, most times the rich person in a poor situation is expected to act differently and judged more, but they keep forgetting that this person is not used to basic or poor lifestyle, and that is not normal for them because they grew up privileged. They never knew what it was or felt like to live life based off survival.
