I understand your sentiment behind asking the question, but this is not a matter of rights. It is a condition they are dealing with - whether their reason is justifiable or not, does not, and usually will not, change the fact that that the condition exists.

However, neither has the right to inflict their suffering on others, especially strangers. Their actions should be restrained so that others are not unwittingly and/or unwillingly dragged into the mire of their existence which their own self-centeredness has, in all probability exacerbated.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
