1)
Did you think of hurting an innocent person?
I did attempt to kill my dad. At that time, I
was incapable of feeling love and sympathy. The illness turned me into a
sociopath, literally. My nature and the basic elements of my humanity were taken
away by my illness. I’d do anything to kill myself and because my parents were
protecting me, I was about to kill them as well. This explains why we hear
stories of mother killing their own children when they were depressed.
2)
What do you think of the school shootings in the U.S.
perpetrated by people who are mentally ill?
I can’t understand their action, but I can definitely
relate to their mentality. When a person is at the end of their rope, they’d
feel jealous of people who are better off than they are. That’s why those
shootings always take place in a school, they seldom happen in a nursing home.
Secondly, killing one’s self is a huge commitment. It takes a lot of guts to do
it. By committing a horrible crime, they basically leave themselves with no choice
but to kill themselves, better yet, the police could do the job for them. Again,
a mental illness can strip a person off their humanity. I don’t think all of
them are pure evil, they are sick and they don’t believe that they are
treatable. If gun control is not possible, then extensive levels of education
on mental illness might be the solution to prevent more tragedies from
happening.
