Curate, connect, and discover
it’s easy to sit from your balcony of privilege & look down upon the masses, ignorant of why they’re angry.
it’s easy to sit under a shelter because you’re protected by privilege & wonder why the masses complain that they’re fed up with the rain.
it’s easy to sit in your warm house with state of the art equipment & wonder why people constantly complain that they’re left out in the cold
it’s easy to celebrate because your crops have yielded a high amount & question why other people complain, unaware that they weren’t given enough seeds. unaware that it barely ever rains here… the sun doesn’t even shine here…
it’s easy to be blinded by privilege. to remain neutral in situations of oppression simply because you are unaffected. but to remain neutral, is to strengthen the power of the oppressor.
