My mum survived a civil war in her native land, raised without an education, survived a husband who wouldn't let her work for her own pension, survived the divorce and the lack of safety net, got an education, gets paid peanuts at work whilst watching people more underqualified than her get promoted, gets treated like shit, and still comes home every day smiling.

Her philosophy: "We could all literally go at any time. Might as well enjoy the present."

Your mother is made of stronger stuff than I am. I have no issues admitting this.

But we also shouldn't just accept living off the crumbs the elite sweep off their tables. All of us, your mother definitely included, deserve better than that.

Most definitely, but after some point you carve out the small corner of freedom that you have.

if the house is always burning and no amount of water will quench it, then yeah, I guess you have to make peace with it
