You know every time someone mentions walking, they’re not obligated to mention some people cannot walk right? Can we stop moralizing and grandstanding everything, it gets so tiresome.


I read no moralizing or grandstanding in GP’s comment. It’s a valid point - most humans on planet earth will experience some form of mental disorder in their lifetime.[0]

My intent was to point out that personal experiences differ and that things the article points out as given are not so given for everyone.

My intent was not to moralize and I'm uncertain to what part of my original comment could be interpreted as a moral stance.


People largely understand that folks who can't walk can't walk. There is still a lot of moralizing around mental health and treatment. "ADHD is not a real thing, they just need to stop being lazy"/etc/etc.

The two situations are simply not comparable.


did the comment get edited or are you responded to the wrong comment? I see no reference to anything as such


You know, the entire point of this website is to comment on articles with our own thoughts, experiences, and opinions - even if it's moralizing and/or grandstanding.

Can we stop discouraging comments in the comment section? It gets so tiresome.
