The "Ex-colleague with a liver disease" sent a chill through my spine. Was he an Ex-colleague because he was fired for being sick ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€? Was he healing himself or was he desperate not to die? There's a difference.

Work can be meaningful, therapeutic, or simply a useful tool for coping. That doesn't mean it should be the only tool, nor should it be relied on without clinical guidance, nor should it be the expectation.

Talk-therapy might not be for everyone, work therapy certainly isn't. The complete lack of empathy and humanization in the post is disgusting.

Given that this person is in India, and yes I checked, yes probably they got fired for having liver disease. India is one of the places where working is even more dystopic than the US.
