Guest guest Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Amy: Thank you very much for your honest feedback on my last post. I acknowledge your feelings and your caring for diabetic advocates of the SAD. I have thought about your response and I believe that I need to reply to it in order to keep my own thinking straight. In fact, maybe I can help you correct your thinking, if you are so inclined? I believe that I must " let them die " because that is what God does. Indeed, there is nothing else I can do!! But one thing I do not want to do is allow myself to be confused about the truth or to compromise with a mentally-ill person for the sake of " being polite. " What I would prefer to do is to RUTHLESSLY maintain my own attitude in compliance with Reality and Truth. I prefer to GO TO ANY LENGTHS to keep my own thinking straight, so as not to fall back into insanity for having compromised with the thinking of a person who is mentally ill; a person who is killing herself with her own thinking by inflicting a fatal disease upon herself! I work with a black woman (let's say any woman) who weighs 326 lbs and suffers from Chronic Heart Failure at the age of 42. She calls in sick to work two days on some weeks and when she does show up she can't walk up the steps to the office or walk to the bus lot due to swelling and pain in her ankles. She parks her car in front of the office and waits for someone to enter or exit and bring her paperwork out to her. She then drives to the bus lot in her car and struggles into her bus, complaining of her pain. I have worked with this woman for the past year to patiently teach her that she can eat all the fruits and veggies she wants and still lose weight and arrest her CHF. She decieved me about what she was eating and her motivation, as well as her weight loss over the past year. She continues to inflict this disease upon herself in spite of anything I can do. I have concluded that there is nothing further that I can do to help her. . . except to LET HER DIE!!! It is the rules that God made, not me, that cause her consequences. It is her eating; her lifestyle; her thinking, that causes her CHF--not mine. I have come to believe that this person is so mentally ill that SHE IS GOING TO DIE FROM CHRONIC HEART FAILURE. There is nothing I can do about it except to keep my own thinking straight in order to make sure that I don't get sucked back into compromising with her mushy thinking. Let her die!! I wash my hands of the matter. I tried to care about her for a year, but it hurts too much to think that way. Let her die, and let her death be a lesson to me. Let her suffering be a lesson to me!

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Ron, There are lots of choices between fighting with people and letting them die. Trust me on this one.
