Food Stamp Recipient Writes Epic Letter After Being Harshly Treated and Judged By Customer

56. tenuous nature of life

They listen to Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh tell them that people
who use EBT cards are "lazy" and "takers."

Yes--and another point of view is needed for people to understand why we have food stamps. This point of view needs to be as publicly available as the one promulgated by Beck and Limbaugh.

I wish we had radio that talked about the tenuous nature of life on this planet: how a person can be OK one day and completely out the next.

That is an existential condition and there is not one of us immune to it.

One can have enormous financial assets, yet die a pauper's death. Look at what happened to Brooke Astor--at the hands of her very own son. Look at how Howard Hugues died.

These judgmental people are indeed buying into the hate radio propaganda that is so easily available while any point of view on how very difficult this life is is hard to come by. It's just not a topic for discussion, it seems. If you can think of a place where a regular person can get food for thought on existentialism, let me know.
