At the end of the day, addiction is a get out of jail free card, it's even a disability that entitles you to welfare in the UK. I guess if you have a personality disorder that makes you want to hurt others then there is no hope for you to be recognised as needing help. Even though this is something which you also cannot help. Just because someone has the faculty to plan a trolling attack doesn't mean they are necessarily all there. People will just think you are mean and hurtful and wholly responsible. I guess there needs to be more understanding and education for people about the nature of these disorders and what drives people to troll. And I guess some people just have trouble understanding because it's not black and white.
Dying to live is also assuming the harmer's life is less valuable than other peoples.
Where im from addiction is not a disability. People get 100% the blame and get it even worse. Rehabilitation is worse here than prisons.
There is hope for you to be recognized as needing help. You yourself can recognize you need help and get help. Your friends, family, etc can recognize the problem and help you. If you're basing your thoughts on the government systems then I think that is another discussion. Because yeah people can abuse it, etc.I guess if you have a personality disorder that makes you want to hurt others then there is no hope for you to be recognised as needing help
However, the penalty for causing harmful actions due to substance abuse or low self esteem should be the same. Ppl who harm others if they're high or drunk should get the same penalty as those who do them because they are compulsives due to low self esteem, etc.
Substance abuse "Alone" is better off than Harming others. Harming yourself is done with your permission. Harming others is not done with their permission.
What one does to themselves is really one's own business and one's own burden, whether you're destroying your liver or killing your brain cells, or getting fat or being miserable. If so then eating McDonald's is like doing drugs. Alcoholics or substance abusers can outlive healthy people. In the end we all die. Or even so, so what if someone wants to live fast, die young if thats his right and choice. Self harm is really no biggie.
But destroying other people's lives is another story.
