Not up to me, to judge, if that is how folks want to live, and they are happy, I say more power to them, and maybe they are smarter than the rest of us. ( would not argue that)
Where I run into trouble, is the heartbreaking, stories part. While I truly believe this can be the case. I also have been, in the people business for almost 40 years. And I would just say this, we all have self inflicted wounds, the key is, to keep them to knife wounds not shotgun blasts.
We all tell ourselves stories, to justify our actions. So when I hear these bleak stories. I want to reserve judgment. I think just listening to what someone says, can be a poor way to understand the total picture and how they ended up where they are. You would really have to know them and their history, before you could really make a judgment. Because, very few people will ever mention the self inflicted wound part. Just human nature we want to blame someone else for our troubles. Not always the case, but frequently is, from my experience
