Differences of opinion aside, just want to make the observation that this topic (or "vent" if you will) would seem more appropriate to discuss with close friends who, whether they agree with you or not, will show sympathy and together you can blow off steam while cursing that wretched retiree who bumped you. (Or not, depending how brutally honest your friends are.) But posting this on a public forum, while it's certainly your right, seems like an exercise in futility. What will be accomplished? It's clear that UKJ has some sympathizers, but as many, if not more, detractors. Here's how I would summarize the conversation so far: Julie (like most people) would like it very much for life to be fair, and is encouraging people to be benevolent toward others less fortunate, a wonderful sentiment. Her detractors say that life isn't fair, no one owes you anything so quit whining and put your energy toward something you can control. In this sense I understand the points being made on all sides. Just don't understand the purpose of posting this on a public forum. What am I missing here?
