Oh Chuck Sheen.

Is it bad that I empathize with Charlie Sheen? I mean some things in life just fuck you up. And some people have seriously addictive personalities and are consequently, trainwrecks. Then countless people will perceive you in the most negative light possible and then that just fucks you up even more.
Yes, we judge him and think he's fucked up but I pity the guy. He's not Osama bin Laden so it's not unthinkable that I do so.
I truly think he is indeed misunderstood. Yes, he's an asshole but he's a misunderstood, tortured artist as well.
I empathize very much with him. And sympathize with him.
Yes, we all cackle like hyenas at his latest interview when he utters in his raspy voice things along the lines of, "My conduct is bitchin'" and "I'm tired of pretending I'm not a total, bitchin' rock star from Mars," and "The only thing I'm addicted to right now is winning," but yes, these are deeply disturbed utterances. 
He'd be more likable if he felt remorse for everything he has done. Maybe he has some demons that we don't know about though. You never know with some people though, you never truly know a person. Unless you are them. Walk in their shoes and then you will know. Just maybe.
But the worst thing anyone can do is judge. Pity them, reach out to them, give them tough love but don't think you know what's going on with them. Even if they spill their guts to you you still will never entirely know. Because like I said, you're not them. More later.
