I greatly value this article. It is very well written. Obviously you've been through the wringer, and learned sympathy and respect for those going through hard times themselves. Well done!

My favorite part:

"It’s why I donate to food banks and charities. It’s why I don’t look for tax loopholes, even though I resent how the government spends some of my money. It’s why I don’t give cashiers or servers or baristas a hard time. It’s why I hand sandwiches to people when they’re hungry. It’s why sometimes I just give students cash to pay their rent or buy groceries."
