Passion and privilege

Most people are passionate about something. Having a passion towards something means wanting to do that all the time, but not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to do so. Some can't afford to practice their passion because they are not privileged. With privilege come more opportunities to explore and participate. Being privileged means you face less barriers, and may even be helped and encouraged to follow your dreams. When you are privileged it is likely your passion might be your priority; while the unprivileged may have other things to focus on such as simply surviving or helping others and with that life style there probably isn't time to focus on passion.The difference between a privileged and unprivileged person will depend on many aspects of their life. For example,passions may require money, if you have a good job and time, or your parents make enough to pay for your expenses, you will be able to fulfill your passion. On the other hand if you come from a poor family, you will most likely not receive financial support, in addition you may also have to help with the family's expenses and in many cases work two jobs, leaving you with no free time to engage even in free activities such as hiking. Another example is the education your family has received. That plays a roll when you need guidance. If your parents are college graduates then they might serve as a counselor, who will focus only on you and will have your best interest in mind, but if your family has not had a higher education you will not be able to count on their advice. Being privileged is likely to aid you in following your passion,but it all depends on which angle you view life from. Contrary from that, someone completely unprivileged may feel the desire to fulfill their passion more intensely than someone who is already living a good life. The hunger for success, and to run away from the life they are already living can be the biggest motivation; that is the case to many celebrities who speak about growing up in harsh situations and fighting for their dreams. It does not matter what situation you are in; you can always follow your passions, even though most of the time it is privileged people the ones that will do so.
