I think it is exceptionally imperative to bring mindfulness to the distinctive levels and sorts of benefits that one can encounter in life. It is crucial to highlight the contrasts in encounters and medicines one gets since this intensely impacts a person’s supposition and beliefs which grows into companion bunches and distant down the line society as a whole. I discover it is dreamlike to be treated pleasantly when I physically show up to have a lighter complexion. My point is that those who are not abused or have never experienced persecution have lived through life from an advantage point of view. I keep in mind this comedian talking about going on a date with what is considered to be a “golden retriever boy” – fundamentally somebody who is fair, cheerful and silly and has no stress, but this specific “golden retriever boy” was white. She clarified how she was on a date with him and inquired “have you ever been through hardships”/ “have you ever experienced a tough time” and he reacted by saying “hmm wow, things have actually been pretty good for me actually” and he proceeded to smile. Not that white people are exempt from trauma or hardships but most white men don’t necessarily experience it because the system is set up to be in their favor. Without stories being told and brought attention to those who have lived a privileged life will never be able to understand that their version of life isn’t the one that is freely lived/shared by others.
