By saying the dude is “sick” in whatever form you express it, you are handing him an excuse, and committing yourself to admitting that “he’s been cured” once he takes that way out, signs on for 3 weeks to the Betty Ford Clinic, or wherever, and comes out claiming he’s “cured”. In fact, a million people are doing what Danger’s been doing, they’re perfectly normal by today’s standards, only that they don’t run for public office.
Until you actually come to know a refuge of healing that is more specific than 12-step groups, please try not to spout too much damnation. We are ALL sick puppies and the bible uses that very term, sick.
