HOW PRIVILEGE DISTORTS REALITY
'Privilege' is
not just a meaningful word but a fact that sometimes can take you up from the bottom to the top; maybe we all had the experience of it somewhere around us. On the
other side 'Reality' we all are aware of this word very well because in this
era we are using this in writing only and are keeping ourselves far away from
it. It is a word whose implementation is kept hidden but its appearance is always shown.
In my opinion, these two words for the maximum time exist together but works opposite,
is it confusing! Maybe it is, but the fact is we can't deny it. To make us
understand I should make it simple by depicting one of my experiences, in fact, I'm still experiencing it since my adolescence, when II was in school i felt it for
the first time, I'm from a middle-class family, my father who is very simple and
is not known by maximum people, especially upper class, and because of this
reality I was just an ordinary student in school, there were somewhere around
two to three students from that very sect. Whose fame by either money or
something else was amongst was my friend. They were known by all faculty and
the administration. Those were treated differently than ordinary students like
me in every aspect, in the study they were given more attention, and in other activities,
always in front of us sometimes I was jealous but unfortunately, I could do
nothing. Other students who were very intelligent and dedicated to their studies were
behind these privileged ones. So this was the first time I noticed that the reality
of intelligence was distorted by being privileged. There are a lot of such
experiences in my life. It is not like we don't want to be privileged; every
human being wants to have some kind of privilege every day, everywhere, and
in every deal in schools, colleges, hospitals, buses, trains, and even at some
sacred places, At all such places we are the once who are making it happen to distort
the reality by giving privilege to some while defying others. You won't
believe it, I'm writing it in a private clinic where I'm with my sister for some
medical tests, I'm in the waiting hall for 5 hrs. and I'm experiencing it right
now, that some people known to lab technicians are having privileges of getting
their tests done on a priority basis. And I'm feeling it like how underprivileged
am i!! The reality that I am fasting and waiting with an empty stomach for the tests is
finding no humanity. So again privilege distorts reality. I can't think
of any proper conclusion, is it good to have the privilege or not good, because
sometimes I myself try to have it and use it. Now I would say if it doesn't
impact much on others then use it and if it does then try not to.
"Saving something by ignoring
reality is like earning something by giving up respect."
