Hmmmmm....very interesting concept. I guess that is true. We wouldn't whine if we were the one shown a little favoritism.
The real question is, what do we do with that privilege? I think THAT is the make of a person--in what ways will they pass it on? Because if you think about it, most of us are privileged in different ways. But we are all deficient or deprived of opportunities as well.
Some more than others, in either department. There's no way to even the scale really. You just play the hand.
