I must say I was surprised to read that. I have cared for sick people. While I am normally squeamish to see certain illnesses in movies or to read about the gory details in a book, in the presence of a human being who is suffering I feel compassion. I do the best I can. The same when my friends have gone through break-ups in their relationships, I am patient and caring. Never occured to me that someone would react differently.
However, sometimes people in pain can be disagreeable. If I didn't know the person very well, and I didn't know what was going on with them -- that is, I didn't kow that they were ill or that they were going through a break-up, I would probably be annoyed. - T --- [email protected] wrote: Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2006 22:08:24 -0500 From: Elizabeth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: suicide >guido bondioli wrote: People in "CIVILIZED" countries are very ugly toward sick people...< Also when you get divorced or separated. It's as if being in their vicinity will infect them. Being near an ill person raises acute awareness of our personal human fragility and real temporariness on earth. Being near partners separating reminds us of the hardest weakest part of our own relationship. For me, the Fragility and the ambiguity of life are frighteningly intolerable alternating with exhilarating, as is walking on the edge of a geyser, exhaling over the house of cards, being in a hurry passing the wispy glass sculpture.
