my rule of thumb for this, for any behavior that you look at and go, "god, how can you not (X)?" is to ask myself: well. how bad would it have to be, for me? how bad would it be before i would stop doing that thing? how bad would i have to feel?
what would have to go wrong in your life, and how wrong would it have to go, for you to stop bathing? to stop eating? to let the garbage pile around you until you can no longer see the floor?
how bad would you have to feel, and for how long, before you would stand on the street screaming at anyone & anything? beating your fists on your head and crying? how bad would it need to be?
do you think there's some fundamental difference between you and people who suffer until their lives are unrecognizable to you? can you face the knowledge that if things went badly enough, you would be just like them? just like them? just like
The only people who truly understand have been there. Those who haven't can't comprehend that level of suffering. If they do, they join us in insanity. It's more than anyone can stand, no matter how strong you think you are. Ask me how I know how to take care of the most brutalized and feral animals, and I will tell you it is because they are me, and I am them. A conversation in their language is more meaningful to me than any I've had in human speech. We understand each other.
