This from a man who described in great detail his near-suicide experience following the 'Cell Mates' breakdown? What was that if not self-pity? Should we have felt no sympathy for him? Or is that too complex?
I wouldn't take any so-called wisdom from this man.

That would only prove he can wallow in self-pity too. Which he has admitted already anyway, and condemned even in himself. It certainly doesn't prove that self-pity is not as bad as he says. So he is right. As for him doing it, it doesn't even make him a hypocrite (since he admits it) -- just fallible. Like an ex (or even current) drug addict sincerely warning people that drugs are bad and that they shouldn't do them. Not only are they right -- but they also speak from personal experience.
