different versions of this world

I've seen people at levels on the priviledge spectrum

Maybe not the most extremes on the spectrum, but a healthy diversity.

And I myself would think I belong to somewhere right in the middle.

i will never understand being born and forced to join the ISIS, holding guns shooting people before ever learning algebra. but i also could not relate to the "strict" parents that "force" you to take music and horse riding lessons.

the life where you struggle every single day putting food on the tables for your children vs. the life where you have never lived a day thinking money is a big deal because you always have more than enough of it fed to you.

and the sad thing is it's a cycle. the most priviledged continues to take private horse riding lessons and goes to med school and lives a life of barely any ups and downs. when they travel, they go to Europe, Singapore, the Maldives, stay in the most lavish resorts, oblivious of how out there there are people living a different version of this world. poverty, no access to healthcare, barely enough food. and i get it, you travel for your own pleasure because you deserve it, because you have worked so hard, and not to learn about injustices in this world, the different cultures and people of different skin colors.

the priviledged has more than enough means to make this world a little better, but they never will, because they're little princesses living in their happy bubble complaining their diamond shoes are too tight. they don't know that most people out there do not have diamond shoes and how many children their diamond shoes could have fed. you know at some level, i don't blame them. that's all they were ever taught about this world.

but being in the middle of the spectrum somehow allows me to see the 2 extremes. i didn't have to worry about food on the table growing up, but i did have to worry about whether or not we could afford my dream school, or how much i need to make for my family to be comfortable. and as i started to make considerably more as an adult, i could afford myself the luxurious diamonds and golds here and there, and i know how money could make your life so comfortable you could focus on the things that you care about. i love a comfortable life, i'm not gonna lie. but while enjoying my diamonds, i feel disgusted by the injustices that fall on the helpless little people who did nothing wrong being born into this world.

and if anyone is going to step up to make changes it's most likely the people like me who are aware of these different worlds and perhaps have somewhat ability to create changes. hopefully.
