20231208 : Privilege...

 

Before my stroke, I had enough and more work to do - both on the work front and home front. I had reasonably ok health, reasonably good eating habits, reasonably good physical activities. Money is not enough for anybody, but it was reasonably ok as well.

The only thing I had very less of (almost none) was time! Free time specifically.

I keep sharing video recommendations to many folks regularly - most of them,  long talk show formats (1½ - 2 hours sometimes). Very interesting and informative pieces in my opinion.

In today's world filled with over information and disinformation, it is almost impossible to understand most things if we don't spend the time and either read and research ourselves (which is a very far shot) or spend time going through secondary sources who have done it for us and can present it in an unbiased way. 

Without it, it is very easy in today's world to get biased, subscribe to misconceptions, get misled, manipulated, etc. 

However, often I get the response from many people that they have been unable to watch even the previous ones.

Which is when I really really understand the privilege and luxury I have been gifted with through the stroke. 

I don't have work, I don't have health, I don't have physical activity, I don't have money etc, but I have the privilege of time! The luxury of being able to make time to go through all these things and even recommend it to others....
