While I don’t agree with posting vile comments, I do understand some of the frustration people have in these circumstances, and it’s often related, in my book, to the fact that people DO UNDERSTAND the how hard life can be. They just either have themselves, or know others, who’ve experienced incredibly hard knocks and “kept on keeping on”, so to speak, focusing on contributing positively to their own and others’ lives, rather than turning to drugs, addiction, etc.
In a culture where it seems to be almost “in” to publicly tout one’s “mental health struggles”, to one where drug use is widely accepted and common, it seems to some that those things become an easy alternative to keeping one’s head down and walking the straight and narrow.
This is not a popular opinion, I know.
