Coming Soon: Longevity for the 1%, the "Choice" to Sacrifice for the Rest

13. You are not alone

My dad lived some dark days and a life similar to yours. Yet he persevered successfully for 85 years. Like you he had strong family support, but low-paying jobs. He made many friends and touched people because he understood that life is not easy for anyone. He gave empathy and he got empathy. Like you, he appreciated the intrinsic, the underfunded, the non-monetized aspects of life. He had a rich and full life and you will too because you are aware and know what is really valuable. In the end my Dad did not choose to leave the planet. He was having too good a time.

I have only one bone to pick from what you wrote. Please don't lump all "intellectual academics" in with this twit of an academic. You will find that many are caring and just as dismayed about all this as you are. If you have been hurt by labeling, don't do it. But certainly I understand why you'd go there. This guy is pukable. Yes a very small person, who will die without a clue. Sad, really.
