“As a white male in America, I have privilege. As a white male who happens to be an artist with a fan base, I have a platform to spread awareness about that privilege. However, songs about race and privilege are very difficult to A) write and B) dissect as a listener. They're heavy.” WritingHappensAmericaArtistSongDifficultWhiteRaceFansAwarenessMalesPrivilegeHeavySpreadPlatformsListeners Author:Macklemore

And to have created, with a few shocking films, an awareness or a perception of me as somebody dangerous and scary - that can be sold, but trying to sell me for some other kind of picture, like Music Of The Heart, was very difficult.” WorldTryingHeartKindDifferentFilmDifficultTermChanceAwarenessDangerousHorrorPerceptionSellsScaryGenreParisShocking Author:Wes Craven
“It is difficult to explain to children in the "overdeveloped" nations that not all children in the world have such beautiful and nourishing food.

“We're normally caught up in the current of our thinking, feelings and emotions. With awareness, we can observe it all without being swept away.

“When a being such as myself who came from a rather difficult background is to 'work' here on earth, dimensionally as part of assistance to the animal kingdom one is brought to your own awareness of what you are capable of firstly even before you're given access to what goes on here.

And this is not difficult: it is just that we have not tried it, that's all. It is like swimming: if you have not tried it, it looks very difficult; it looks very dangerous too.

“If my happiness at this moment consists largely in reviewing happy memories and expectations, I am but dimly aware of this present. I shall still be dimly aware of the present when the good things that I have been expecting come to pass. For I shall have formed a habit of looking behind and ahead, making it difficult for me to attend to the here and now.
