Jack Bragen explains and details concerns regarding unfavorable attitudes toward people in recovery from mental illness. He complains about the bigoted stereotypes most people have toward them, likening it to crass racists. 

Jack, I get it. I really do. What's more, I've dealt with a variety and combos of the kind of dynamics you describe, in many different situations. But I gotta' say, it's every bit as important to not negatively stereotype "most people" in that way, either. TWO way streets offer the most. And, yeah, someone's also gotta' go first (or be willing to) and, at best, fairly consistent and genuinely so. Even if not reciprocated or matched, eh? 

When riding motorcycles there's a thing: "Where you look is where you'll go". So it's one of those double-edged swords. On the one hand, knowing that, even at a lively pace and a complex circumstance it can keep you looking for/at the "successful" way through it all. On the other hand, it gives an important warning against any temptations to look too long for/at where you don't want to end up going. 

Ride on, bro'.
