The problem with privilege is that we rarely see our own. Because we only know our own experience, we rarely recognize how much we have been given and how much those gifts have smoothed our way. We also fail to remember how much we have inherited from past generations.2 While our grandparents fought oppressive regimes, we’re the ones who enjoy freedom. While our parents worked entry-level jobs, we’re the ones who enjoy the profit. And yet, we did nothing to arrange the circumstances of our birth or childhood. Naked we came into the world and naked we will return.
