Empathy not judgement
SLR said:
This is a wonderful reminder to 1. Be grateful for your current life. 2. Don\'t automatically assume that person is lazy or an alcoholic or drug addict. 3. Be kind to others less fortunate/blessed. Great work today!

Empathy not judgement

Great write. Unfortunately, my friend, judging is going to happen as long we have a brain trying to survive. Humans make judgments because it’s a survival tool, and sometimes we need it. People just need to be able to understand other people specifically, and regardless the judgment we produce in our heads, we should still treat each other as equals

Thank you , I was fine at first until reality hit me. If only I had the foresight to keep up with all the new technology and not been such a technaphobe!

This is a very good write and shows the misery of being made redundant. The challenges you face will be many but you can obviously vent your despair in words. I do hope one of your CV\'s strikes the right note with somebody.

I think we\'ve all felt this way. Like we didn\'t have full control of ourselves. Some angry being taking control of parts of us. Good post.

Thanks for your comments I have always enjoyed writing poetry- even if Im not so good at it, I find it helps me to vent and sometimes even chuckle!

I just loved reading your piece today. Vivid and evocative reality of being humiliated by having to \'learn\' to be a commodity instead of a person. But the fact that you are first and foremost a normal person shines through your writing.
You have that rare ability to tell a story of misfortune and have the reader support, sympathy and hope along with you every inch of the way.
Does writing earn an income? I think you not only need to be very talented but also get all the right breaks.

Thank you. This was at its worse a very unhappy time for me- but I wrote others that reflected an often amusing sometimes cynical side of my having been thrown out into a whole new world!
Thanks for all your comments

I admire the strength of feeling which shouts in your piece today. There is clearly anger there. Very strong and powerful writing.
Makes me reflect that in would feel similar in your circumstances.
