- bane 13y agoI'm aware of that. But what exactly am I supposed to empathize with? It's like empathizing with anybody who actively takes an action that's not helpful to them. It's like somebody taking up smoking, drugs and drinking when they have no interest in those things at all and would be much happier and healthier without. Or actively going out of their way to not learn to read. Even if he does have an emotional/psychological problem (which I do empathize with), he could roll that money into a stellar long-term treatment program and come out better on the other side. Or just donate the money to a charity or something. Vague "I can't take all this opportunity to do nothing and solve many of my life's problems" is not something that's easy to empathize with.
