I can't remember who coined this term, but it means that thieves will steal from each other, too.
I am recalling this today as I think about the various types of mental illnesses. I am wondering if we steal pride from each other?
Hold on a minute. Here is what I mean. Do we consider ourselves better off if we only have Chronic Depression?
Do we snob those who suffer with Schizophrenia?
Is it now alright to have ADHD without being penalized with the stigma of a mental illness?
Are we jealous of each other's mental diagnosis or do we support each other with love and encouragement?
What's your POV? Please share.
