Top Comments of this video!! :3
Once my mom told me about a conversation she overheard in a diner. It was a small group of one percenters discussing how miserable they were that the made less than 200k that year. She told me “Imagine if I made that kind of money, we wouldn’t still be miserable.” I thought about how 200k could pay off my student loans and how nice that would be.
Then I thought about my many friends with parents paid, mostly or entirely, for their college. They are all miserable. My rich friend’s parents felt as though they paid for their child’s future, so now they have complete control over it. Attempting to become independent is seen as a betrayal to them. So they can never move to start a new job They are trapped.
I told my mom about my friends and said I wouldn’t change anything about our lives. She said “but common, you know me. I wouldn’t do that to you.” But I just can’t be sure. Money changes people.

I had a privileged childhood in a sense that this video describes. I didn't know I was privileged, and got a small inclination that I might be when I started university and had to live in a different city, and began to miss my parents without really knowing why. I was probably in the early twenties when I finally realised that not all parents are like mine; that they are truly exceptional, and that I am privileged and blessed.

School of life links every thing that is happening in our adulthood to our childhood.. This channel has taught me the importance of healthy childhood with empathetic parents. So it all comes down to the privilege of having some mix of love in our lives be it parents , friends or a partner who accept us the way we are, this I think is a real privilege. Thank you!

What about people who receive too much of that emotional privilege a.k.a people who are coddled? People who were too sheilded from real life struggles that they essentially created their own problems in the long run? The ones who learn late, and poorly at that? I would love to see a video about those people.
