I have a feeling that people don't always express their experiences literally. Maybe unless they have some mental problem, where they are unable to see behind literal meanings of words...
- dfxm12 5y agoMy point still stands, though for any amount of figurative-ness. That's the point. The author had an experience which amounted to a terrible year, after admitting some terrible misdoings. Almost everyone had a terrible 2020 regardless of their past, and employers fire people from jobs for much more tenuous reasons than what the author admitted to. Homosexuals, African Americans, other minorites, etc. have their lives taken from them literally and figuratively just for being who they are, along with jobs and future prospects, so we can be spared the pity party here. That's the perspective that those banging on about cancel culture here are lacking.
- megous 5y agoOk, but where is he comparing his suffering to other people? I didn't have a sense he's minimizing suffering of others on his webpage.
