a complete insufficiently_thoughtful_person who will live off social assistance for the rest of his life.

 

Oh, so you don't think he's a fine, upstanding working professional or tax-paying entrepreneur?

The gentleman in question may deserve our sympathy rather than our derision.

It may be likely there's something seriously wrong going on there.

 

-just sayin'

 

People who get laid off from work deserve sympathy. People who lose loved ones from drunk driving car accidents deserve our sympathy. People who go off to fight for our way of life and come back scarred deserve our sympathy.

 

This "gentlemen" deserves 10 lifetimes of derision for being a insufficiently_thoughtful_person and possibly contaminating humanity's gene pool.

Could be hm

 

Yet, mental illness and emotional disorders get short shrift, in my opinion. They are diseases, in every sense of the word.

 

If a person has cancer or Parkinson's or some other disease and it manifests in tumors or tremors or the like, people generally respond with sympathy and understanding.

 

The average response to common manifestations of mental illness with understanding and sympathy? Not so much.

It's as if the person were to blame for having the condition, its symptoms, and its consequential behaviors.

 

Imagine if we treated the victims of other diseases in a similar manner.

I feel that's part of the problem with mental health matters. The stigma. If a person sees a psychiatrist or psychologist, he's "crazy". If a person regularly sees a dentist or doctor, he's considered "normal".

 

...

 

Now, this person in question is said to be "physically and intellectually healthy" - yet it's fair to at least wonder otherwise, given his behavior.
