I don't feel one bit sorry for Charlie Sheen! It's not like he's some down & out guy who has lost his job due to the economy and is living on the streets and has sunk into drugs and alcohol, or some guy in the 'hood who has always been poor and has resorted to selling drugs and pimping for a livelihood.
Nope, Charlie was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he has never wanted for anything. He doesn't respect anyone, especially not himself. This is what he chose to do with his fame & wealth.
Nope, I don't feel sorry for Charlie Sheen and I can't stir up any empathy for him. He's a self-made man.

Sorry but in a way I do feel sorry for him. If you've never known someone who is addicted to drugs or alcohol. Somebody that is extremely close to you. Who you love, then you just don't know.
I know.

But as we all know, HE is the one that needs to pull himself out of the trenches and do the good deed. He is obviously choosing not to and only HE can change that.
I am sad that he is getting so much publicity. However, maybe that publicity is sending a message to some that are discovering that they need help? Just a thought.
I know also.

I know too. And that's why I don't have any sympathy for someone like Charlie Sheen who has had opportunity after opportunity to clean up his act, in some of the very best facilities, but he chooses not to. If he was trying even a little bit, I might find a shred of empathy for him, but sorry, I just can't.
