Relationship between privilege and passion

Some people have almost limitless options when it comes to passion and some have no opportunities to pursuing their passion. While I wish with every ounce of me that it’s something everyone can enjoy all around the world, realistically it isn’t. Not in the world of today at least. The joy that comes from doing what you love is often wrapped up in some type of uncertainty that some people just can’t afford. Passion is a privilege. And for those of us who have this privilege, we have a responsibility to do great things with it. “The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.” This passage shows how privilege can help you to find yourself, your passion, your guts, and what you want to do.  Many of my most meaningful interactions with computer programs occur when privilege and passion intersect: the privilege of being in that moment with that computer program and the passion for wanting to make a real difference in that program.
