“Some people have a hard time recognising privilege, saying “I work hard. I don't get things handed to me.” I understand that.Here's how I respond: “privilege isn't bonus points for you & your team. Its the unfair penalties the other team gets that you don't.
Privilege isn't the prescence of perks & benefits. Its the absence of obstacles & barriers.That's a lot harder to notice.If you have hard time recognsing your privileges, focue on what you don;'t have to go through. Let that fuel your empathy & action.”
Marie Beecham
“The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.”
Marcus Aurelius
“The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe as its handle was made of wood & they thought it was one of them.”
