I think that's completely wrong, quite frankly. An eating disorder like hers isn't driven by greed in the slightest, and it's foolish to suggest such a thing. It's a mental illness that anyone (even men) are perfectly capable of succumbing too.
And like drinking or gambling, one of the first problems is realising that there's a problem; but unlike drinking, I'd imagine anorexia can probably kill you long before you get a chance to identify the problem, let alone get help. |
Please dont call me foolish as i didnt suggest any such thing.
I'm in no way making light of her illness FS but she chose to stay in an industry that was not helping her be any diffrent and for making that chice she gets no sypathy from me.
You seem to suggest that just cos someones sick they should be given free reign to live as they wish and then we should feel sorry for them. Would you promote a gambling addict to one of the late night poker shows and tell him "at least you get to be on TV" or would you tell him to stay away from the environment that isnt helping his problem and mental state?
Thats the point i'm making, she seems to have made no effort to get away from a lifestyle that was damaging her and for that reason i feel no sympathy for her.
