Helping hand Quote by K. Archura
““Yeah, and there’s this constant refrain from privileged people; it’s like they’re all racing to prove how miserable they used to be. Every single person who succeeded did so because they deserved it. It was all thanks to their great vision and hard work. None of them received a substantial amount of money from their families or connections. No one with privilege ever gave them a lift or a helping hand; they definitely started from the very bottom. Everyone deserves their position forever, and social mobility is clearly just a matter of waking up at 5:00 AM. Nothing was accidental, and luck never played a part.””
