The Golden Son
£2,500.00
The golden son — the figure showered with celebration by society and, it seems, by fate itself — is often read as the embodiment of privilege and favouritism. Others look on with envy, imagining a life of unbroken perfection. Yet those who envy such a figure rarely see the hidden struggles, the pressure to sustain an image of perfection, or the isolation that privilege can bring.
The golden son carries his own burdens, however favoured he appears. Happiness should not be measured against others; true contentment lies in embracing one’s own journey.
