I have never experienced cancer, or even a loved one having cancer, so maybe I can't fully appreciate all the feelings associated with that experience. But this guy's argument seems so ridiculous to me. I don't understand the insistence that things are SUPPOSED to be difficult. Does that mean we should give up trying to make it any easier for people to connect?
I love what Hallmark does for people, and I agree, if you can write meaningful notes and letters and don't need a card to start you off, that's great! But for the rest of the world, who struggles with what to say, or would rather say nothing than the wrong thing, it makes those connections a little easier.

This guy wrote a book with a specific message and he thinks that these cards can somehow be used to get that message out. I doubt he believes what he's saying.
Why would he want things to be so difficult for a friend or family member of someone going through cancer who is struggling to find the words that convey what is in his or her heart? I wonder,like Jason, if he believes in what he's saying.
So, based on this guy's argument, even birthday cards would be inappropriate because they circumvent the "awkwardness" of writing your own card. It's like being morally opposed to buying a gift rather than making one yourself because it's a cop-out or something. Silly argument.
