Yes! As the author of this article I was completely thrown off when a handful of people responded to with comments about guilt. I don't feel guilty at all for the privilege I have received, and I really tried hard to not come off as guilty-feeling in the tone of the article. It is unfortunate that so many people jump immediately to feelings of guilt when considering privilege. A better response would be thankfulness for blessings received that you did not deserve and that not everyone gets. No matter your position in life, there are people who have been given more than you and less than you. I think the only useful response to understanding this reality is to feel thankful for what you have been given and to work to help others who received less.
