Frustration mounts…

Isn’t it fascinating that CNN devotes roughly 15-30 minutes of prime time programming on Paula Zahn Now to discuss the devistation of Body Dysmorphic Disorder on the advent of December, during which we commemorate World Aids Day. Don’t get me wrong, cognitive disorders such as BDD, OCD, Bipolarity, and Depression are devistating to those who experience the symptoms. Some of which can be terminal for those who suffer. However, are we to completely ignore or dismiss the truly devistating and terminal (for those who can’t afford treatment) diseases such as HIV and its cohort in crime AIDS?

Please don’t take me as a bigot, I respect all who suffer, but I and others must always strive to consider suffering in our personal world view, continue to learn about different causes of suffering, and advocate for intervention to ease the pain of the sufferers.
