We had a heroin addict come in the other day for treatment on her abscesses, (puss filled pockets in the skin, due to shooting up). She was covered in track marks everywhere. Said she’d been addicted for 10 yrs.
Here’s my question....
Why did my coworkers think she was disgusting instead of feeling sympathy for her?

lol...how the fuck are we supposed to know? wtf?
Also... unless you've done heroin yourself.. you can't have empathy for her... only sympathy.

You ask such stupid fucking questions all the time it just gets irritating after a while.

Are you that dense that you can't possibly speculate why someone would think it's disgusting to see a diseased addict with abscesses and unsightly looking track marks over their whole body? What the fuck is wrong with you? are you that ignorant that you think everyone else should think like you do? I just get sick of dealing with mental midgets like you hun.

What? My coworkers think they are morally superior?

Just ignore the faggot.
Obviously I don’t get it. After the girl left I couldn’t get her off my mind, I felt so bad for her.

because they're of the (largely mistaken) belief that their lives could never go that wrong, and that that makes them inherently better

But there is hope for the addicted! Prayers, perhaps? And lots of self control...

It's not the end of the world. It can be conquered!

But don't give up, because there is a higher power just waiting to hear from you if you find yourself in this situation.
