"If you think people who don't want to adult are lazy, you haven't been watching some of them pour hours and weeks and years into making and perfecting their arts. They're not averse to work - they're averse to meaningless work that makes the rich even richer. If you think they're entitled, you haven't been watching them work to feed the homeless and to advocate for policies that would eliminate homelessness. If you think they're fragile, you haven't been watching them pick themselves up over and over again after the system smacks them down for being unable or unwilling to get with the program."
From the blog Under the Ancient Oaks by John Beckett at Patheos.com
It's that last sentence that gets me. John Beckett is that "voice of reason in a time of great madness." His interview on Damh the Bard's Druidcast podcast was the first time I had ever heard beliefs like mine, spoken in the same accent as mine. It changed my world.
