Damn right they do. And I don't care if my attitude 'makes conservatism unpopular'. As far as I'm concerned, we have grown so soft that any reference to the facts of life is becoming 'unpopular'.
Charming.
I don't know you, of course, so I don't know what you may have faced in your life. Maybe you haven't yet faced chronic or catastrophic illness, either your own or with a loved one. But if you live long enough, you will eventually. We all will. That's also a fact of life, and a hard one.
When your time comes, as it surely will (unless you go out due to one of the many ways to die that aren't caused by illness), I hope no one says you deserved it. I hope when your day comes, that the people around you show you more compassion than you are capable of showing others.
