On one hand, sometimes it seems as though privilege is wasted on the privileged. Like that saying, "youth is wasted on the young." But on the other hand, maybe they're not as privileged as they think they are. Maybe they even deserved to enjoy more privileges than they got, actually. Maybe instead of privileges, what they got was a bunch of coping mechanisms that aren't really sustainable. Maybe if they got more privileges, they would be more sensitive and compassionate to all kinds of people. And being that way would come to them more naturally? Hmmm. It's a thing to wonder about.
