“We are now in a far better position to forewarn ourselves and to identify dangerousness in the people who would lead us. We must recognize the need to bring cultures of caring forward, so the people don’t feel left behind and neglected. We must also more deliberately encourage people to think critically, educating them to do so and giving them license to stand apart, speaking their own version of truth. Constructing an environment that is more respecting of individuality and voice and of individual difference would certainly make it easier for these things to happen. And, lastly, as imperfect as it is and as aspirational as it is, we must be far more mindful”

“Pathology does not feel right to the healthy. It repels, but it also exhausts and confuses. There is a reason why staying in close quarters with a person suffering from mental illness usually induces what is called a “shared psychosis.” Vulnerable or weakened individuals are more likely to succumb, and when their own mental health is compromised, they may develop an irresistible attraction to pathology. No matter the attraction, unlike healthy decisions that are life-affirming, choices that arise out of pathology lead to damage, destruction, and death. This is the definition of disease, and how we tell it apart from health.”
