People who are depressed or considered "dark" due to ways of dressing, speaking, or acting should not simply be cut off from society. I question why people disrespect those who are considered "dark" due to pain or mental illness. if a person is "dark" must they be banished? No. if you get a dark bruise on your knee does that mean that your knee is an attention seeker or that it should be cut off? No. if you get a bruise on your knee it means that your knee got hurt and had a lot of pressure put on it at once. your knee needs to be taken care of so that it may heal and return to normal. Your knee does not need to be poked at so that it will leave. that would just make it worse. Those who are mentally ill or in pain simply need a little bit of care and to not be poked at so that they may heal.
We are not different. we are humans. we are struggling. and we need help.
