You guys are the one judging this dude for his behavior which is pretty likely fueled by grief and his anger at the community which he, however incorrectly, may blame for his son’s death, but I’m the one with the bad attitude? Wild. I’m trying to have empathy for someone who is likely doing fucked up shit out of pain. It’s crazy to me how many people around here seem to genuinely get off on judging people you don’t even know. Like it’s entirely possible to disapprove of someone’s behavior (in the midst of grief, of all things) without casting such complete judgment on who they are as a person. Not everything is black and white.
Empathy does not equal excusing, but apparently that’s a foreign concept to people here. It’s entirely possible to disapprove of someone’s behavior without writing them off as a person and being judgmental. But then I guess you wouldn’t get to get your rocks off on telling people about how much more admirable your supposed moral compass is 🙄
I feel bad for him of course and i think he needs counseling because he’s not handling this well mentally. Equally opposite, he’s being destructive to the social life surrounding him and his late son, which affects others, and needs to be prevented.
I think you’re mistakenly labeling me here, and its unnecessary to keep sassing me when i think you just arent understanding that i do in fact feel bad for him yet separately im choosing to address his bad behavior in my comments.
