Stop calling yourself blessed when what you are is privileged

You bored today? Go for a walk. There is zero chance you really care about this non issue. Have a blessed day! Period.

Apparently it is impossible for some people to fathom that hard work, education, and good choices pay off in life, and that it is entirely possible that people can earn things through avenues that are not privilege.

You had good choices to pick from.

That were earned by studying.

Hard to study when there’s gunshots outside your unit every day.

Also hard to study when you're out at midnight on a weekday doing wheelies on a dirt bike or tearing ass down H street on an ATV.

This is how i feel too. I am blessed, I have been privileged, I am grateful. I understand life is unpredictable and it can all go awry. We lose our health, our good fortune, our family members. But in the meantime, I feel really lucky and I try to stay very humble with the realization that life is fragile.

Cos she's blessed and privileged and feeling a teensy bit undeserving.

Actually it is.

Really? There are certain groups who only have unhealthy children? I wasn't aware.

Are you for real?

Seriously? I would like to know what group has a membership that is able to avoid having unhealthy children?

Well, I see you are neither blessed nor privileged with common sense.

Why didn't you just tell your parents to buy a house in a quiet suburb?

Agree with you, with the caveat/modification.

Your chances are better with that history. That's how I did it, but I also know I got lucky. Plenty of people do the same and don't end up better off.

OP, healthy people don't care whether other people are taking nice vacations. Get off social media and stop comparing yourself to other people.

It is a combination of luck and work.

This.

If you work for it, you aren’t privileged.

And, privilege shouldn’t become a scarlet letter.

It’s not a scarlet letter. So why not admit you have it?

It is in today's world. Calling someone privileged is a slam against them. It's saying they have something they don't deserve to have. It couldn't have been earned, it had to have been because of their "privilege".

This is stupid. I am all about calling out misused privilege but you can certainly be privileged and Blessed. You think God is handing out Blessings based on certain qualifications that you have determined?
Get out of here!
You are all kinds of wrong.
