But who are you really angry at? You are focusing your anger away from where it belongs maybe. Ever think about this. Most people do it. You're not unique in that. But anger will consume you until you are willing to look deeply into and feel who you are really angry at.

So if someone commits a crime because they exist in a state of delusion, then are they not accountable?

Mental illness is not an excuse and should not be considered one, nor should allowances be made when the mentally ill behave badly and blame their disorder. On top of all of that hate based thinking goes against my deepest core values. He needs to get his shit together or get going.

You recognize that this person has a medically acknowledged mental disorder. You then leave the decision to effectively solve the problem you have described with his behavior to himself, as if he is a consciously aware person who has a great enough understanding of his situation to be able to take proper steps towards healing himself.

Perhaps you are not aware of the true nature of his apparent problem? Do you really think someone who is delusional to the point where they will sprout hate-based language formed as a result of irrational thought processes is capable of being regarded as someone who can make such a decision, regardless of how severely your deepest core values have been violated? Perhaps they are, perhaps they are not, but let us not proclaim that, as we are to be responsible for ourselves and our actions, everyone is aware of what responsibility is and how to engage it.

Ultimately, he is fully responsible for his thoughts and his actions. This isn't a realization that everyone is deeply aware of. It is a learned concept, and it is nonsense to hold such an expectation on others if one is not going to play an effective role in promoting the understanding of that concept to them.

Its one thing to realize aspects of the true nature of reality, it is another thing entirely to promote the realization of these aspects of the true nature of reality. In a time of ignorant slumber, it is foolishness to paint eyes on their eyelids. Let us perceive their dream and reveal the inconsistencies in order to restore the awareness that one is asleep. Transcendence/startled awakening. 


Peace.
