What is privlage and where dose it come from. Let’s use a drivers licence for example. It is a privlage to drive in Canada not a right. No one is born with a drivers licence. Sure depending on you family’s history you may be in a better position to obtain one. (Financially better off, better educated, whatever) You can have all the money in the world if you can’t pass the drivers test you don’t get a licence.

So a person from family A goes to school works hard at it, graduates, gets a good job, and saves money to pay for the test and a new vehicle.

A comparable person from family B goes to school slacks off the whole time their there, ends up dropping out, can’t find a job because they have no education, spends all their money on drugs and alcohol so they have no money to take the test or buy a car.

So 20 years or so go by and now kids from both family’s have reached driving age.

Kid from family A is encouraged to get good marks in school and instilled with the vales that if you work hard for something you can achieve your goals.

Kid from family B has it rough his parents are drug addicted drunks that value nothing yell and scream and tell them they will never amount to shit.

Kid from family A has driving lessons from his family gets financial help to pay the cost associated with driving while kid from family B has none of these benefits.

Stack this story again and again and family A becomes more and more prosperous while leaving family B in the dust. What we see here is the result of hard work paying off. Sure later generations are better off for the hard work of their forefathers. But that’s just it they earned it while family B did nothing to better themselves.My point being Privileges come to those who work hard to earn them. Not to those who feel they are entitled to them simply because they see others have it.
