~:[CH13 - Day 170]:~ Ditching the Storm
As I headed out of Tokyo, the storm came rolling in. I was lucky to have great timing and the ability to leave. It made me think of the thought of priviledge which soon connected to a discussion I had later that evening. As we caught up over tea, we discussed the opportunities we had that others may not. Do we soak up these opportunities? Should there be guilt when we do? Whenever you watch an "end-of-the-world" movie, those whonare priviledged seem to have the best opportunity to survive while those who aren't have to face the storm. Does facing the storm make us stronger or does privilege win out? Our conversation left me with the simple thought of appreciating the opportunities we have and lend a hand when we are able. As in the movies, the privileged leave and don't look back, we can write out own stories when we have a chance to leave the storm behind. I was glad to find blue skies when I arrived and even happier to be able to be priviledged enough to reconnect in a place so far away. It's something I won't take for granted.
