When was the last time someone caught opioid addiction, from another person?
Not downplaying that crisis, at all....just pointing out that one disease is highly contagious.
The other is not.
Suicide and Opioid crisis have had far more legions of deaths to their names and long ranging and lasting effects on society. Think even just of the babies born to heroin addicted mothers. Melania Trump has drawn awareness to them by visiting hospitals treating these babies.
And we all have a lot of repenting and self examination to do over the sickness of our selfishness and the blind eye we turn to our fellow man on a daily basis. “Love thy neighbor” means caring for the souls of others. We are souls eternally, our bodies are temporary.
