We agree that all people deal with hardships pain and tough times whether they are born into privilege or not. Tough times are not the exclusive domain of the disadvantaged but, they happen to share in a disproportionate amount of difficulties which leads to a heightened level of resiliency born from their circumstances. The term "weakness" does not speak to all those born into privilege but rather, it serves to emphasize the strengths of those that are not born into privilege and still keep on charging forward while surprisingly surviving and succeeding against all odds.

Does not mean they don't know pain. Does not mean they don't know 'tough times'. And it certainly does not make them weak. The weaknesses of the privileged??
