Edit
I kinda made this post out of spite for the fact the most previous post in this community, whose title I quoted/copied, was getting so many downvotes… At the time I posted this, the previous post had about a 30% downvote rate, and it really, really made me mad.
I am relieved tho to see people in the comments here who have real, actual empathy for their fellow humans. Thank you for contributing here.
It blows my mind how normalized it is to hate on those who are struggling. Especially in 20fucking23 when so many of us now are on the verge of it ourselves. Let’s be better, everyone - to everyone. I beg you.
And to add- do you honest think kindness and compassion works on a heroin junkie needing a fix? Unless you’ve been through it, watched a close fried for over 40 years DIE from it, and seen people murdered over it-
Shut the fuck up about it.
I lost my best friend to an overdose, yes. It was intentional, and his third attempt, but he did succeed in the end. Can’t blame him though, as he had a titanium hip that made his life a living hell and no access to legit medicine because doctors are afraid to prescribe them.
Your insults make you sound like a petulant child considering the topic at hand. Do you think they somehow make anything better?
I’m calling bullshit on your story and ending the discussion here.
It’s been fairly self-evident that sympathy for your fellow human beings is not something you prioritize, so I can’t say I’m surprised.
