LIKE JACKALS OR HYENAS

It seems to me that we are as Jackal's or Hyena's towards the Mentally Ill. If people pull up "lame" with a Mental Illness, instead of being like Geese and supporting one another, we are in for the kill and make a meal out of the others weakness. There is something intrinsically wrong with our Society when we are so quick to condemn. Another lady was at Golf today who has recently suffered from Mental Illness, and in front of me, and almost within earshot of this lady they were asking what was wrong with her and stating that "She's not on the same Planet". And that was their way of being "kind". From my observation she had put on weight and was shaking from Medication but otherwise obviously had her faculties in tact. I KNOW what it is like not to be "On the same Planet" but it seems there is the temptation to be CRUEL even when there is nothing to be CRUEL about. I'm the first to plead GUILTY because I believed from when I was about 5 years that I'd rather be DEAD than be Mentally Ill like my Mother. But FATE and time have helped me to see that it is as much the floors in our Society that we should be aware of rather than focusing simply on the weakness of the Mental Health Client if we are to be a Humane and "Christian" Society. We'd rather scream POSITIVITY at the Mental Patient rather than be open and honest about the GLOWERING ISSUES surrounding these people.
