Privilege is a Blessing and a Responsibility

Privilege is a blessing that one can be born into, or even gifted later in life. However and whenever it comes, it is important to remember that privilege is afforded to those who are being asked to assume higher levels of responsibility.

Sometimes privilege can feel like a burden. A weight of not knowing what to do with it. Not feeling like there is a clear path or directive for how it is to be used. Some people may even deny their privilege as a means to avoid responsibility. And other times, people may want to enjoy all of the perks of privilege without any of the responsibility. People may abuse privilege and use it to better only themselves out of greed, instead of using it to better the collective.

Privilege may be a blessing but it does not come without its responsibilities. And only the honest and honorable understand this to be True. There is something sacred about privilege. A sacred duty to receive all the blessings so one may use it to better the world in some unique way. Privilege asks the person to be better, more mature, more honorable in their endeavors. To assume a role of higher responsibility to others. It can point to the potential, but does not guarantee, nobility. Only the individual can decide how they choose to use their privilege. In the end, privilege enables us to have options and choices, with a responsibility to choose wisely and nobly to create a healthier world.
