 The pain of making tea


Letting go of privilege is as hard or may be harder than fighting against it.

The ones with privilege are the ones that need to take up more pain than they are used to. We should expect resistance to take up any new pain/suffering/hardship however small it is.

This is an insight to understand why the world changes so slowly.

Change is possible only when there is awareness that someone else is taking your share of the pain. When we are conscious about this, we end up doing right most of the time.

As a simple example - if someone makes tea for you and you want to know the pain of making tea - try making it a few times :)
