What are your thoughts? Personally, I found this segment to be pretty bleak and depressing. Even though he was sympathetic to people like ourselves, deep beneath lay a patronizing pity. I don't want to be hated, but I don't want to be pitied either. The part about his mother and the therapist was the worst. I can't even imagine that that was like.
I certainly don't "desperately want help", at least not of the variety they're inferring (i.e. psychiatric/psychological). The only help I need is the same help that African Americans, Jews, and gay people got. I don't feel like a ticking time bomb. I don't have problems controlling my sexual behavior. "Patronizing pity" is an apt description. I'd rather face my problems head on with pride and dignity than accept that sort of so called help. |
