A Moral Dilemma RE Homelessness

[Psykhronic]

I'm somewhat programmatically against depriving people of the opportunity to learn from experience, when learning from experience is what is needed, and may be the only way to learn it. I don't consider it "tough love." It is, to me, just doing the right thing, for them, and for me.

I have to agree at least a little with this. Going through psychosis was ridiculous, but if someone came along and could have simply snapped me out of it then I would not have learned nearly as much. I've learned the consequence of not taking care of oneself, how to manage my emotions better, and a lot of fear/anxiety disappeared from going through such experiences. I also learned to trust medication, but more importantly - to assert myself regarding my medication, to stand up for myself if I don't like a drug they put me on and also to stick with what is working.

But there are some people who will not be able to learn after a certain point - going back to my usage of psychosis, something like a third of people do not respond to medications. So it is a situational judgement, but yeah a lot of times people can really learn from their shitty experiences.
