@zulakeflowers@todon.eu Isn't an analogous argument that, because people are starving, we should starve with them? You can stand in solidarity with people and still avail yourself of the happiness available. Enjoying yourself isn't a crime. It isn't a betrayal of those who are not. When your friend is going through a terrible time, do you deny yourself all pleasure lest you appear unsupportive? We only get one life. Being miserable for their sake achieves less than action on their behalf.
