I did retirement home training and used to think it was a sweet job. Then I got in the business and underestimated how demoralizing it was as they give you the easy elders in training while the others make you, or at least me, really think of the fact the job just amounts to an unkarmic freebie.
Not who you’re replying too (and not vegetarian/vegan) but I’ve always said that people who eat meat should have to kill and butcher an animal at least once so they learn where it comes from and how it gets into those tidy shrink wrapped packages in their grocery store.
It’s not pleasant and too many people don’t understand it.
But, I grew up quite poor where hunting often determined if we were eating so I have a different experience than many. I’m still a big softie though and, while I will do it, I definitely don’t like it.
