Nowadays, people symphatise the sick rather than taking prevention?

@Mamapolo2016 Of course..it is your brother..if such happen to your family, make the most to spend with them. Nothing wrong with making the sick feel good..they have little days make it more memorable.

@Sepia That's not necessarily true. They may have not known about a vaccine or they may have reservations about innoculations because they do sonetimes have complications. Because someone doesn't agree with me does not mean they are wrong and it does not mean they are not entitled to kindness and sympathy. Once they are sick with whatever I think could have been prevented, should I show compassion and kindness or just walk away thinking, well, it's their fault?

@Mamapolo2016 not necessarily vaccine..a lot of sickness are around including addiction..you can't just tell them or they get mad. Showing prevention to them is having more concern..than the sympathy which cannot save them.

@Sepia That's certainly true. When that dynamic is part of a relationship, you have to decide whether you want a relationship with an addict or no relationship at all. Either is a legitimate choice. They're going to do what they're going to do.

@YukikoAmagi It breaks my heart to see people doing it..

@Sepia 😌 and don't you ever try to stop them or depression army will crush you

@YukikoAmagi okay let them be them haha

@nedkelly I rather be preventive..because I care more lol

@Sepia I feel contradict about it. Sometimes.

@Quicksilver87 btw..in saving love ones..if you can save as you can why not? If a "depressed" loveone trying to jump off the building..you won't save them??? because they wanna die..are you going to support their sick desire? If you really love them, save them as you can..what is impossible is beyond but at least you have done something to keep them.

@Sepia Okay. That's different situation. If she/he wants to kill itself on the spot then yes we try to prevent it happen.

How about something more addicting, such as substances, alcohol and smoking?

I am full aware person yet I fall into all that stuff because I was depressed.

I know that stuff are not healthy but I'm still trying it because I want to ease the pain psychologically.

It is not health option but it is best, for now.

Look, I'm not encourage you doing that my point is some of parts you can do, but some of parts you can't do.

The only person who can save itself from die/destruction is the person itself.

We just able to support our loved one choice or give them some advice and be with them.

I never like that answer but what else I can do to save someone from destroy himself/herself.?

Should I chain him/her? Does it make any difference? I only make him/her suffers even more.

I understand your point but not all things can be saved.

@nedkelly dumb

@nedkelly I don't think that's fair. She does have a point - a lot of oeople do have too much sympathy and want to make it too easy to sustain an addiction. There's just a happy medium between the two.

@Mamapolo2016 Don't mind that Nedblaa..they attack on whatever good and bad I say. Shallow mind is a growing number in sw

Yes, if that's the way you feel. @SW-User

@Mamapolo2016 ah feelings! Say no more.

@SW-User I didn't intend to.

@okaybut Why there is no prevention? Why people have healthy lifestyle live to fullest? Why aren't they alcoholic drug users??

@Sepia It is just we can train for something we do not know will happen. We can only train how to feel about challenges.

@Sepia People don't start out alcoholic drug users. They start out - and end - as people.

A person who is sad or depressed about some life event accepts an offer of a wonder cure at a party. "Here. It's good for what ails you." It may be that first time or it may be the tenth or fiftieth time when they realize they've got a tiger by the tail, or it has them.

@SW-User We have to re-assess ourselves..if someone helped us out from the discomfort..one must learn to be greatful but never depend to them, we all have our own lives. I strongly believe we are still responsible to whatever discomfort we are experiencing..I love helping people, as for the experience some resist from help and sad to see them more broke in the end. I pity them but it is their fault.

@Sepia I agree with much you say, but somewhere deeply I do feel it's more complex than just that in terms of help which isn't me exactly disagreeing with you just maybe giving a consciousness that is easier said than done for some.
