[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 1383886, member: 22662"] Hmmmm. That seems to go completely against everything I have come to believe. ;). There will always be stress and often we put unreasonable expectations on others. Reasonable or unreasonable, others will often fall short of our expectations and resentment is born and festers. It rots the psyche and bitterness becomes the norm. Things become complicated quickly. The talents and opportunities we have to do good in the world become burdens and further maddening. What in humility we are able to see as a "get to" turns sickeningly into a "got to". If that sounds insane, then it becomes easier to see why addiction and bipolar disorder is so difficult to treat. They really are all encompassing mental conditions that, left untreated will result in tragedies like Robin Williams', Chris Farley, John Belushi and literally thousands of others from every socio, economic, and religious background. As VonDutch pointed out, the bank account doesn't matter, the fame was no shield. Nobody cares what you have; what are you going to do with it? That Brandon Marshall is bipolar won't curry any special favor with the NFL. That he has worked hard to become a role model for other players and become a spokesperson for those with bipolar disorder has proven transformative on the field and in life. While Marshall is a "spotlight" case, it isn't an uncommon phenomena. Retreating into self-will, becoming the spoiled prima donna wide receiver is rarely the healthy course. [/QUOTE]
