A sick society breeds sick people, who, unknown to themselves, suffer unconscious and seemingly invisible symptoms.
As you would avoid a person with a cold or any other sickness in varying degrees in order to avoid contamination yourself, I think the only healthy thing to do is avoid these sick people so as to avoid contracting psychic, emotional, and spiritual disease.
This is not to say they are to be ignored, banished, abused, or deliberately ostracized. We wouldn't do that to a person with a physical sickness that can spread. We interact with them of course, but we do keep a certain distance from them, don't we?
I think it is the same with other levels of sickness.
But I don't think it is their fault. It is easy to know when you are physically sick but many in the modern world never know the multiple dimensions of their possible and mostly unconscious disease...how could they, they are never taught means to know it and instead, are forced to become sick themselves through a system that tells them sick is healthy.
And I have grappled with my tendencies in the past of avoiding certain people...I felt as if I was hiding too much behind a wall...or being too high and mighty...even when I really don't think I am. But somehow today I realized some of the major reasons behind this.
It is just too emotionally, psychically, mentally, and spiritually draining. Other people's essences can infect and get into you if you aren't careful...it happens very subtly and quietly. This can be a good thing...but with sickness, obviously it is not.
These people obviously need medicine, but it is very hard to cure someone when they don't know, and cannot be convinced, of their sickness.

y'know, i really appreciate this post. i also wonder though, maybe because of my career path...perhaps it is also possible to interact with the sickest/most toxic individuals without taking on their illness, and even help them, provide some form of healing, without being drained? i imagine we need to train ourselves carefully to do so, and do things like "handwashing" (however that might translate in psychoemtional terms)...but maybe it's possible?
yes you're totally right
After having absorbed that post a bit and thought it through more, I could have spoken more about something like that. I think it is possible, and obviously people need healers...but like a physical disease, it takes preperation and a know how of what to do and what to avoid doing.
Like, you wouldn't just go walking through a hospital without some sort of protection and markers of where not to go. And I suppose it's the same with the psychic/emotional/spiritual world.
