Re: Why forgive?...Accept instead?

Just my 2 cents' worth.

Good point, but I think the solution is somewhere in the middle. I

am usually suspect of studies that advocate pharmaceutical

intervention, when many have been helped by behavioral intervention,

they just refuse to avail themselves of it. I take these studies

with a grain of salt because I truly think the pharmaceutical

companies are really trying to push more drugs on people, and as

profit-driven entities, I don't entirely trust their motives, nor do

I believe pills necessarily solve all the problems. They can, in

fact, make it worse. When there are billions of dollars involved,

people are wont to skew the studies to support pharmaceutical

intervention.

And people have done amazing things despite damage or alterations to

those areas of the brain.

I just can't entirely excuse it like an illness like cancer or

muscular dystrophy -- I still see a " choice " component there. Along

the same lines, it irks me when I see alcoholism referred to as

a " disease " -- I'd rather it be classified as slightly different.

Again, because of the " choice " component.

Again, just my 2 cents' worth.
