Colbert, Fauci, and the Externalization of Mental Illness

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Life is hard. Everyone I know bears some burden or other. Most do so with equanimity and dignity, and without victimizing others.

There are always forces in this world that pull us down into the muck and mire. In our day-to-day pursuit of happiness, desire, entertainment, and survival, it is easy to forget what we have the potential to become. It is easy to get lost in technicalities, in ego trips and in reactionary indignation. If we are the victims of atrocities, it is all the easier to seek our justice in retaliation, viciousness, and brutal revenge. But in a world where everybody sees themselves as the primary and true victim, where does that ultimately leave us?
