Redefining Privilege and Disprovelage

This chapter challenges the notion of privilege by framing access to basic necessities like clean water, green spaces, and healthcare as fundamental rights, not privileges.

The interplay between joy and sorrow is explored, emphasizing their interconnected nature and the need to acknowledge all emotions for a fulfilling human experience.
