The Terrifying Privilege
<p>I work from home but I work for a specific type of insurance that helps people when they’re older so I frequently get calls from older people regarding their plans and benefits. I absolutely love speaking to them.</p>
<p>I don’t make any calls — my job does not include sales of any kind. But my entire day is spent taking calls and my favorites are always the older people. The way that the elderly are treated in this country is horrifying. Not only in terms of their care — but often by their own families. Sometimes, I will end up on the phone with them for over an hour just chatting. It’s always very obvious when they’re lonely and it makes me sad. So I will chat with them. They will tell me amazing stories of times long before I was born, they’re often very smart, and almost always give me life advice.</p>
