The Privilege of Being Favoured

-

 


I realised that there will always be a group of people who would do better in life not for the skills and effort that they put in or have, but for certain traits that they possess, and it becomes frustrating, especially in a world where competition is key to success. I feel that these individuals received privileges over others because of factors like their race, beauty, athletic capabilities, intelligence, financial background or all of the things mentioned combined.

Well, that was last year but I will not be surprised that last year will be repeated again this year. I won't be surprised at all.
