      "Privilege" is just a way of blaming your failure on someone else's success.

      All of this above. It doesn't matter what your starting stats are. It's how you develop your character that counts.

      blah blah blah. Never helps anyone to tell them they are under privileged. Which is what all this essentially means

      what I am saying is that privilege doesn't exist because it doesn't matter. What you do matters more than where you start.

      all a waste of time. Just do stuff that means something and causes you and others to grow. Don't compare yourself to

          Anyone who has access to read a tweet today is more "privileged" than 99.9% of people in the history of the world.

          Every "disadvantage" in my life has made me stronger. We choose to grow through adversity or be crushed by it.
