Or the perverts idea of comfort....
Oh my daughter should talk to you she wants to be a counsellor...... all her friends confide in her...... mine too.... I think I have a talent....
If I had a penny every time I have heard that said ...... The idea that we are all disturbed and can only be healed by a warm loving soul is getting tiresome. I do think human suffering is problem that needs tackling I am not so sure confiding in these helpers of society is always the right answer. For most part these are people who have barely put their own house in order and seem to take a perverse delight in other people's misfortunes.
If suffering isn't pleasant neither is dealing with it, when someone tells me they enjoy solving other people's problems I suspect their motives. I am suspicious of the fact that they need to boast about it. feeding off another person's misery is the lowest and most ungracious thing to boast about.
It isn't surprising though we live in an era where are expected to reveal all be tormented by secret mental conditions, to discover our true selves. Our emotions are to be put on display and the magicians who can swish them away are the new powerful class. Directing our every move feeding off our misery in a self contentment that can only come from a deluded sense of self.
Maybe I am being too harsh but I have had enough of Psychiatry's little helpers.
Adam Curtis did a nice piece about this a while back think it is somewhere on this blog.

I had to add this wonderful quote The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule -H.L. Mencken
