In the meantime, think you could explain the prison food thing??? LOL!

Well, really only adieuolivaw can do that for certain, since s/he is the one who said it, but here is what it suggested to me:

adieu said: "respect for self is the key. If you like the way you are, then it's right for you. Especially if you like prison food"

which I take to be hearkening to the mental health criteria that is sometimes invoked which is the relative nature of "mental health" and states if the client is happy, comfortable with himself/herself then they are healthy. Of course that perspective assumes not harming oneself or others, naturally -- but if we take it all by itself without adding those qualifiers then it becomes like saying whatever you are or do is fine as long as you're fine with it -- which theoretically could mean thievery is fine, auto theft is fine, forgery is fine, assault & battery is fine, etc. as long as you're happy with yourself! hence: "especially if you like prison food" since under those circumstances you will doubtless end up in prison at some point! LOL

Make sense?
