Comment on Poignant post on the state of things
JPSound@lemmy.world 9 months agoWell, that’s great. It’s very easy to make this about you and fail to see what many others face. I hope you never have to face the brutal hardships caused by not being in the right place with the right connections and the other life circumstances that can lock people into a life of deeper and generational poverty. But it could be the tide just hasn’t risen to a level with your head barely above turbulence where your stuck treading water with no way out. In an instant, everything could get turned upside down through no fault of your own and now the world is a different place all of a sudden. But it’s nor any different, you’ve just joined the millions of others who got the rug pulled from beneath them earlier than you.
I too have been quite successful in life through hard work, discipline and the right life situations that allowed me the opportunities to carve my own path in life doing what I love. I can still see how things have collapsed and I would never question the validity of the millions of other simply because my life experience has been different. This alone makes you venerable to being pushed to the front of the line next.
