he is a victim of his own choices... I don't want to sound callous, but to be honest, we all face a much more harsh and unforgiving future than him if we made the same mistakes. He has squandered the good faith he built over many years by making bad decisions. Somehow he generated wealth out of it all, but continued to make bad decisions in hopes of hanging on to his dramatic public personality/popularity. It's not for me to judge of course, but it's a vital lesson to us all in the age of Internet fame, integrity and reputation matter... The more we forgive and cast a blind eye to people that "sell out" based those principles, the more we end up forgetting exactly why morality, good conduct, and positive reputations matter in life.
Would you say the same about a schizophrenic who refuses to stay on his meds and ends up ranting at people while living under a bridge?
People with bipolar disorder sometimes won't take their meds for a variety reasons, one being they seek the energy of manic episodes (one in my acquaintance had only had one major manic episode in her entire life but she put up with depression for years in hope of having another one).
Kanye West has stated in interviews that he's a.) bipolar and b.) doesn't take his meds because they interfere with his creative process. This man is not well.
