And all that makes you a better person? What if you reverse your positions? What if you *could not* get a job because society viewed you as a monster for speaking out against the mainstream and proclaiming that you have thoughts that are not acceptable to most other people. You have done *nothing* wrong, but you are outcast and dejected from society, so no one wants anything to do with you let alone hire you for a job. Since you don't have a job you learn to survive the best you can, even if that means 'sponging' off others, and eventually personal hygiene will become less important than finding food and shelter.

I am saying that he is a victim of his circumstance. So by being able to hold a job, volunteer, etc, etc, this does not make you a better person. Look at Jack with the overwhelming desires and urges he fights on daily basis. You see everywhere the objects of your desire and your natural instinct is to act on them. But he does not, he fights them *EVERY* day of his life so that he can be a better person and sleep at night knowing that he has survived another day without inflicting damage to another.

It takes an incredibly strong and honorable person to accomplish this. So does this make him a better person? We cant' answer that, we are all equals when all else is stripped away. Have you been more fortunate? Yes. That doesn't make you better.

I know you believe Jack is lying, but what if he's not? Do not put yourself above anyone else, because we have all done things in our lives that we wish we could take back and are shameful.

I know the battle we all fight each day, and it is hard and takes it's toll. I am proud to be who I am, and proud that I can win this battle everyday.
