IMO it's almost selfish to put your family through this cuz you wanted a hot rump with that guy from the bar or turned to intrevenous drugs. i'm not judging these people and certainly feel sorry for them, but someone who contracts aids because of making a bad choice are one hair away from deserving and "i told you so". | It's terrible to be afflicted with any serious or life threatening illness. And for the families involved, my heart goes out to them...we've all experienced suffering and losses in our lives.
People who get HIV/AIDS did make a bad choice in having unprotected sex or sharing needles, but I know you and I have compassion for them, even if we'd like to yell at them and say, "I told you so, I told you so." It's frustrating but we can't control people's lives. We can't tell them not to smoke, drink and drive, or who to have sex with. Life is full of choices, and it's up to each individual to decide what's best for him or her. |
