When a crazy person behaves in crazy ways, it is beyond their control. They can't help that they are batshit insane. Still, their actions can often hurt others. They tend to make the lives of people they know as miserable as their own. Should they be forgiven for this? Or should they be held to account for their crazy broken brains?

The mentally ill who do harm to others are usually just sociopaths. It's not all their fault though. They were born with brains that weren't fully developed. They lack key areas that are required for normal human interaction. They are basically retarded is what I'm getting at. Most of these people's lives are in shambles because they don't have the ability to empathize and relate to other people. If you can't do that, then you can't get ahead. I kind of feel bad for them.
