This one was a little hard for me to write.
Actually no.
Thats what privileged people like me do.
We make shitty issues up in our lives. For instance, I think my life is awful when my internet is down. One of the biggest issue of my life. And it's a disaster for me.
From a subjective level, makes me a piece of shit. Because just about two streets away from my house is a slum where they dont have clean water. And I dont think about it every day.
According to my friends,
I'm privileged. I.m sort of offended by it because when I do think of someone being privileged, I think of extremely rich people who have had a lot handed to them in life.
Now don't get me wrong, I wasn't offended by it because I'm sort of judgmental against privileged people. I disapproved the comment because of their reasoning as to what makes me privileged.
What I'm attempting to pass on is that in case you're privileged and didnt really do much to accomplish it (like me), then youre most likely an asshole.
Keeping in mind while I'm on the topic, I truly hate when u call someone something like a douche bag or an asshole, and that individual says that they aren't the said words
"It's Probably up for people around you to decide."
Anyway, point is, you cant resist the urge to but be kind of a bad person. Anyway, BuzzFeed recently published an article about the Urban Poor. They tried to make us feel bad for people who live in big cities and hold good jobs but end up starving themselves so they can buy Starbucks coffee.
To these people I sayGet a Life
If you have money and dont know how to handle it, it doesnt mean youre an urban poor individual, it means youre Stupid.
These are the kind of bullshit problems that privileged people make up so that they can cry about it to their friends. And it is 'Gloating'.
It's almost as if people these days want to show each other how terrible their life is than everybody elses. And youll rarely see people with actual problems in life talking about it. Generally these are people who want to go clubbing every night.
As a matter of fact you are probably Advantaged. Westerners are more advantaged than those who are born in the East. You are more likely to have access to food, clean water, and housing than those in different parts of the world.
Stop waste time feeling guilty that you are "privileged or unprivileged." Rather, listen to those who aren't privileged. We are restricted to our own experience until we hear those with a different point of view. And when you have heard from those who are underestimated, raise their voices, not your own.
What Im trying to say is, rich and privileged people (incase if you are questioning Am I rich? Then you probably are.) need to realize that most of their issues are usually fabricated bullshit.
For once, do the decent thing, stop Gloating about your pointless problems to people who are dealing with actual problems because it's insulting and offending for them.
On the whole, being privileged is not a sin. But the problems that grow out of privilege can be
And just accept whatever Im accepting right now.
Be Proud, Be Rich,
Be lame and say "Im privileged and I know it."

Thank you for interesting point as to privileged people. We can not escape from the fact that some people are priveledged. But the ways to get a priviledge could be different. Should we take it into account or not? That is the great Hamlet's question)
@borishaifa certianly everything is taken into account at the end of the day we end up getting what we deserve!
I spend much time in South America. I've yet to see or meet a North American, with the exception of some friends from south of the Rio Grande and north of the Panamanian-Colombian frontier, who are not privileged. The statistics show that if you make something like $34,000 you are in the top 1% of the World's wage earners. If you make $11,000 you are in the top 5%. The World is not a fair place.
@autofixer enjoy what u have mate live the moment, just go with the flow!! if someone deserves they will surely have it
Love it! We need to more appreciative. Look at 95% of the world. We don't have problems.
