My current favorite cultural trope is "my work gives hope to those less fortunate."
Athletes, singers, reality show contestants - you don't need to look to hard to find some type of voice for the voiceless sentiment.
On the 10th season of the UK series Celebrity Big Brother, a longtime British soap actress, Julie Goodyear, said in a diary room session that her time in the house was "giving hope to disabled pensioners."
If I ever do a podcast, Disabled Pensioners is the clubhouse leader for a title.
So - the next time you see this play out, any "I'm doing it for all the blank out there who sit at home and wish they could blank" - that's this; they're giving hope to disabled pensioners.
