Consider the possibility of mental illness?

Normal people agree that it is inappropriate and unkind to become angry and upset with people who are mentally ill.

Normal people assume that others are also normal.

If we are not aware of mental illness we may allow ourselves to become angered by and emotional with someone who is mentally ill.

Mental illness thus causes anger and emotion in the mind much like a contagious disease creates fever and weakness in the body.

======

Without taking sides in any specific matter, what say we all step back, take a careful look, and consider the possibility of a serious problem of mental health.

Normal human beings are not mean-spirited toward their fellows.

Normal humans are friendly toward one another.

Normal humans are even sympathetic and understanding and helpful to one another when that is possible.

======

The wisest elders of all humanity throughout human history have offered their best thinking to us -- thinking that has now been in writing for centuries -- thinking expressed on tablets and scrolls and parchments and papers and then books and now online.

Mental illness? Look carefully at the other person and think, "Do I see mental illness?"

And then, if you sense another person's illness, take a deep breath, control your own emotional response, and recall in your own mind the three words from our most thoughtful ancestors:

"Love one another."
