You're getting a window into just how much it sucks to be disabled and then have extra burdens put on you. I don't know this author, but I know someone else in a similar position and I absolutely understand where this anger comes from.
Regardless of the condition of your life, harboring anger and malice never leads to fulfilment.
Sure, and if depressed people weren't sad, they'd be happier. 'Just don't get frustrated' isn't actionable advice.
That's not what I said. To feel an emotion is morally neutral, while to use your emotions to cause harm is wrong.
Easy to say that when you're not the blind person having their disability benefits threatened periodically
The anger is not unjustified. Directing it at people who are nearly as helpless as you in the situation is not justified or remotely helpful.
(I'm blind myself.)
