It makes me wonder what intrigues and interests me to study the mental conditions of people, particularly the mentally disturbed, when personally I have not forgiven the mentally sick person that is a part of my life.

It is easier to sympathize and nod in agreement as I read the material given to me from school than to take these studies and apply it to real life.

Does this make me a hypocrite to study something I am essentially running away from? Did I choose this path or it worked out for me by some force that I did not know of?
