Privilege vs. Passion

One of the relationships of Passion and Privilege is availability of opportunities. Many of us dream of doing something that will change the world which require hard work, determination, and a little bit of luck. In this world, privilege has a say who and what will make the world be. This setback is constantly around to all of us which limit the opportunities we have to pursue our passion. During our childhood, we are encouraged to do whatever we want; it's possible for us to become anything we want to be. However, good things must always come to end. When we reach adulthood, we hear "silly child, dreams are not realistic and no love is not practical; you must work to make money to buy the luxuries that you must have; work even more just to pay to get to work where you could work just to get paid just so you could pay for the things to work. And don't forget ya gotta hurry" (Passion Project). This is a very sad truth. We are constantly by people or things that minimize all the possibilities we can achieve. With privilege, we are told every single day that money or work comes first before anything else. This idea is being drilled into our minds and hearts so we begin to care only for the benefit of a few. This few are the people in power that uses us for their selfish reasons. If we follow the idea of privilege, we begin to lose ourselves; we begin to lose our passion. Privilege is not going to give us opportunities to chase what we want. We need to break away from privilege and make our own chances if we are really serious in following our passion.
