When someone says
the same thing
over
and over
and over again.
There lies an opportunity
to explore the depth
and nuance
of the supposed
“same thing”
with the realization
of empathy.
One way
to discuss privilege
is to focus on the burden of gifts
others
have given us.
Wealth,
Opportunity,
Access…
Another way
to discuss privillege
is to focus on the gifts
we
have to give.
We cannot always force others
to give their gifts
to people
other
than ourselves.
But we can give
our own gifts
to anyone
we choose.
Perfection
is a feeling.
What is perfect
to one
is imperfect
to another.
What is perfect
one day
is not perfect
the next.
We can misunderstand perfection
if we focus solely
on clarifying the measurement
of perfection.
We can better understand perfection
by clarifying the tension
underlying the drive
for perfection.
