Not only that, but I live in a place where I don’t have to constantly fear for my life—where the thought of being bombed or attacked every minute or hour isn’t a daily reality. In contrast, there are people living in conflict-ridden regions like Syria, Yemen, Gaza, or Sudan, where survival is a day-to-day battle and safety is an unattainable luxury for many.

The privilege of peace is something I often overlook. I wake up in a stable environment, free from the sounds of airstrikes or the chaos of war. I can make plans, dream about the future, and pursue opportunities without the fear that everything I’ve built could be wiped away in an instant. This is not the reality for millions of others, who live with uncertainty and instability every single day.

When I reflect on this, it humbles me deeply. I don’t have to worry about whether I’ll have access to clean water, a safe home, or whether my family will survive the day. These are basic human rights that so many around the world are deprived of. The ability to live without fear and plan for tomorrow is a privilege—a profound blessing that so often goes unnoticed in the day-to-day rush of life.

It’s a reminder to me that with privilege comes a responsibility: to be mindful of the suffering of others, to appreciate the peace and stability I enjoy, and to extend kindness and support where I can. I don’t view this reflection with guilt, but with gratitude, and a commitment to not take for granted the life I’m lucky to live.
