It is getting cold where we are and, the other day, my wife commented how having hot water when we need it is such a boon. I realized that it isn’t just hot water that is a privilege. All of “hot,” “water,” and “hot water” are. There are billions of people who don’t have regular access to these.
Privilege is a funny beast. You could be speaking its language without even being aware of it, e.g., complaining about flights being late, about internet being slow, or about bad weather on vacation.
Guilt is not the answer of course. Acceptance followed by action is.
If you’re worried about whether you are capable to make a big difference, stop. Frequent tiny differences made consistently over a lifetime will work very well.
