Our local social system is basically driven by an assumption that we are privileged version of universe and rest of world can wait for us. This assumption or illusion is shared even by a just born baby to elder waiting to die the next second.
I am not going to debate whether this shared assumption is right or wrong as there is no use in realizing its pros and cons at the fag end of the evolutionary process. I am just at cross roads as to how it impacts collective conscience. I mean what do we think we are privileged about. Till yesterday I was under the impression that we were privileged to spread the message of humbleness, to use privilege to veto out the arrogance of power and so on.
We can really visualize the future wherein the assumption of being privileged are promulgated to fuel self pride, that is we have started to weaponize the assumption of privileged to pump up the adrenaline rush to feel proud of being privileged instead of pitching it to be a part of the consortium.
This gives raise to elementary problem of have we really understand roles and responsibility of being privileged which is not a sudden phenomenon but a result of a hereditary handover to safeguard the interests of the merchants of good.
