I do think that some people are more ill than others, but I also believe that there is such a thing as personal responsibility.
We all have issues, that does not give us the right to make other people miserable and then expect them to suck it up and turn the other cheek. I struggle with anger every day of my life, that doesn't mean I have the right to inflict my ire on anyone and everyone that has the misfortune to cross my path.
To me what it boils down to is this: some things are beyond my control but my illness does not give me a get out of free card. I think I am less tolerant of others because of my own struggle. If I can live my life without making those around me miserable, why the hell can't you?
