In terms of resources and opportunities, they may be advantaged. But from many other perspectives, NO, they aren't. Rather in my eyes, wealthy children are highly disadvantaged.
How?
Look. There are certain highly satisfying moments and experiences in life which I think only those can experience who were not born rich but earned money later on in life.
And these moments and experiences make you feel so accomplished and happy that it can't be put in words.
Some of these experiences are:
- To see the happiness on the face of your parents when they sit for the first time in their own car. They were being pushed in local transport before this.
- To see tears of joy and a child-like vigor in your parents when you get your first home. Those who were born in their own home can never get this experience.
- Listening to the stories of your own childhood when the resources were not enough and your family couldn't afford much. How you survived and reached where you are today. Makes you feel like a winner already. I don't think that resourceful children can ever know how good and satisfying that feels.
I can write a list of such experiences but I guess you got the idea.
So,
when god gifted them with money and resources (which can be earned
later on in life), he took away these priceless experiences which no
money can buy.
What do you think now, who is advantaged. :)
