I immediately found myself angry with the poster - then it occurred to me that hey, that person deserves my compassion, too...it was pretty clear that the person was battling with some serious paranoia. But it's harder for me to find that compassion when the person says something I don't feel good about. Please understand: I'm not suggesting anything about what you should do. I was sharing my experience. Sorry if that wasn't clear. |
Guess I misunderstood, seemed like it was implying its mostly mentally ill people who harass people online....
Also though it could be the person had some kind of mental illness, does sound rather delusional....or they may have just been being a troll, sort of hard to tell over the internet if they really believe that or are just posting that stuff to get a reaction. I guess I sort of get what you mean...but the initial wording just came off as implying more that 'its no wonder people don't have compassion for the mentally ill when they just harrass people' but I guess that is not what you meant.
