A simple indicator of the amount of privilege in our life is the percentage of choices we get to make that aren’t in the realm of what the average human being gets to contemplate.
Examples of such choices might be – where should I fly for vacation?, should I send my kids to private school?, should I buy a home in that area?, should I be optimizing for work-life balance in my next job?, and so on.
An indicator of the amount of privilege we’ve been fortunate to accumulate is – what percentage of the privilege choices we’re contemplating now were choices we were able to contemplate a decade ago?
