#luxury

Most of us have no sympathy with the rich idler who spends his life in pleasure without ever doing any work. But even he fulfills a function in the life of the social organism. He sets an example of luxury that awakens in the multitude a consciousness of new needs and gives industry the incentive to fulfill them. ↗

I think that anyone who's pushed to do the very best that they can is privileged. It's a luxury. ↗
