I could go into a long rant about how no one fucking deserves to die, but I will leave you guys with a story instead and maybe you will see where I am coming from?
You see my mother has 6 siblings, 5 of those with the same two parents, my grandmother and her husband, when they grew up my grandmother struggled with mental problems and their father was a raging alcoholic whom beat them all, and raped his oldest son enough that he had to stay in the hospital for 4 months, due to the damage caused, that was also the last straw for my grandmother and they got divorced through a judge and they moved away from him.
My grandmother never worked and she was poor and as such they grew up poor, and with a history of addiction in their family and mental illness, it is no wonder that two of my uncles are alcoholics/drug addicts, that two of my aunts are borderline alcoholics (and one takes drugs from time to time), they all struggle with mental illness and never finished any kind of schooling... My aunt was raped and had a child when she was 16 (which the state took away from her) which probably added to her mental and alcohol abuse issues.
Oh and yeah my cousin (one of my uncles daughters) was killed by her step father while he was high on drugs, which made my uncles drinking 10 times worse and basically broke our family even more. I could tell you so much more about my family and how much they have gone through, but I think I made my point well enough?
So tell me how the fuck did they choose to start taking drugs? They have lived a life where alcohol and drugs have been okay, they started young, they never had any support system and no one ever helped them. Would you tell me that my uncle deserved to die if he overdosed? Would you tell me that my aunt deserved it if she does kill herself when she is at her worst with her BiPolar? Or would one be worse than the other? I would get sympathy for my aunt because she killed herself with her own hands, but be told that my uncle deserved it because he misjudged the dose of whichever cocktail of drugs and alcohol he was on that night?

I really do not want to cause more wank that this has already done, so I will not use any examples, but yeah....no subject
(Anonymous) 2013-07-22 03:37 am (UTC)(link)In fact, a lot of people are saying that addicts should get all the help they need - while still saying that the original choice to do drugs was their responsibility.
Just because you think someone is responsible for something doesn't mean that you think they are undeserving of help.
It also doesn't mean that you are particularly sympathetic about their death - doesn't mean you think they deserve it, you might not care all that much either way, instead.
