Privilege

A privilege is something that you have that other people are denied. Such as skin color, gender, sexual orientation or many other things. Now I'm not trying to offend anyone, but I think most people would agree with me in saying that males are generally more athletically inclined. This is a privilege. Not all males have this privilege  either. I am, for the most part athletically inclined, therefore I am privileged in this aspect. It's a privilege that I don't always see as something special, when in fact it's pretty special. I mean what if I were to get in some sort of accident and end up paralyzed, or with a broken leg. Even with a broken leg I would  be able to realize how much of a privilege it is to be able to use that leg. Being paralyzed would be much worse and much easier to realize that it is indeed a privilege to be physically capable. So what I guess I'm trying to say is that each individual has so many privileges that many others do not have. Sometimes what it takes to realize this is to lose that privilege. Like the saying goes "You don't really know what you have until it is gone."
