I suppose the reason why a lot of people might not be sympathetic with a rich person going off the rails like this is that there are those of us who are lesser mortals who have to worry about money and paying bills and other stuff that people living in the Hollywood bubble don’t have to worry about.
Personally, I can kind of understand junkies in ghettos who shoot up heroin because they grew up in a life of poverty crime, sexual abuse etc and use drugs as a means of escape from their crappy lives, but what is the excuse of a man who has grown up with privileges and riches from sinking so far into the gutter?
Even when I can have compassion to someone, I have no moral right to ask the same from others. If the poster does not feel compassion to Sheen, who am I to say that he must? It's his choice.
Finding sickness entertaining is another matter altogether. I do find dancing at a hospital bed --- finding Sheen's meltdown entertaining -- to be akin to dancing on a grave. No, there is nothing irrational about dancing on graves either, but Jews and Christians don't do that; it's against Judeo-Christian values.
So, I expressed a puzzlement about someone being entertained by a meltdown. To that I receive a reply which includes considerations of wealth. I don't buy that and, I suspect, neither do you.
In my book, dancing on a grave of a rich person is as wrong as dancing on a grave of a poor one.
