I’m one of those people who have no qualms about telling people that they aren’t.

I’ve been around long enough to see that yours isn’t a defence of people with depression in general but of one particular person who is a sufferer, if not somebody close to you than you yourself.

So don’t confuse issues.

And even if my life’s work were concentrated on writing exclusively about how depressed people are the Enemies of Society and responsible for All The World’s Wrong, that would still not constitute a vendetta.

Vendettas are specific to individuals.

People like you irritate me. Your thoughts are all over the place.

The issue brings to mind the excuse that hunters would commit suicide if they are stopped from hunting or that they would fall into depression.

What does that tell you about checks made on people before they are given licences to hold a weapon?

If there’s one thing the depressive refuses, it’s sympathy.

What torments the depressive is the knowledge the other will never taste the dark hell nestling in the soul.

What saves those around the depressive is trust in the indomitable spirit a depressive is capable of extrapolating from adversity. Irony an essential ingredient to distinguish between life and self.

The psychotic is the one who metabolises the demon replacing the soul. It is the person’s character which allows it. Applied idealism.

Character is formed by experience. This planet refuses to engage the soul, let alone what happens to self.

An obsession with free will, Lubitz was a product of Lufthansa, engineered to perform and successful at his tests, no matter how. Nothing else existed, except the evil waiting to happen.

What gets to me is how Lufthansa declares this cannot be recognised, as if expert scientific opinion on the soul must be both infallible and sufficient.

And Mr. Charles, there is a difference between being thorough and just being plain slow.

So you can assess the level of training and certification by listening to the English of a non-native speaker? Incredible.

The airline doesn’t have ‘medical people’, medical certification is carried out by independent entities to prevent tampering. For example, in Malta, Foreign Minister Vella is a medical examiner.

Contrary to what has been reported in the press, the ‘SIC’ remark in a medical certificate means that that pilot may, with that certificate, only exercise second in command privileges. It has NOTHING to do with knowing of any prior medical conditions and the like.
