I BEG TO DIFFER WITH YOU SIR ON THE POINT OF WHAT MATTHEW PERRY HAS TO "WORRY" ABOUT AND THE PRESSURE HE IS UNDER. IT ISNT QUITE THAT SIMPLE YOU SEE. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN A POOR SCHMUCK, HOMELESS,ETC. HE JUST HAPPENED TO HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BECOME A STAR. AND WHO IS TO SAY HE WONT END UP HOMELESS, DEAD IN AN ALLEY SOMEWHERE OR HOTEL ROOM OR IN A MENTAL FACILITY (IF HE LASTS THAT LONG)?  I GUARANTEE YOU ONE THING FOR CERTAIN, HE DEFINITELY WILL END UP IN ONE OF THOSE SCENARIOS IF HE DOESNT SEEK WHATEVER HELP HE NEEDS TO OVERCOME HIS ADDICTION.  I STILL FAIL TO SEE WHY YOU HAVE SUCH A LACK OF COMPASSION FOR HIM JUST BECAUSE HE HAS MONEY OR FAME. IT DOESNT NEGATE THE FACT THAT HE IS HUMAN, HE HAS SUFFERED FROM SOMETHING THAT HAS CAUSED AN INABILITY TO FACE REALITY AND IT DOESNT COMPLETELY HAVE TO DO WITH HIS WEALTH OR FAME.  IT MAY BE HIS DOWNFALL WHEN IT IS ALL SAID AND DONE. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE LESS FORTUNATE I SEE ON THE STREETS OF MY CITY WHO STILL HAVENT FACED REALITY AND SOUGHT HELP? IT ISNT BECAUSE THERE ISNT HELP AVAILABLE, IT IS DUE TO THEIR INABILITY TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PART THEY PLAY IN THEIR RECOVERY OR RELAPSE! SO PLEASE SPARE ME THE "POOR" PERSONS EXCUSE! I AM POOR MATERIALLY AND I WAS BLESSED BY A GOD WHO LOOKED BEYOND MY FAULTS AND SAW MY NEED!  WE SHOULD DO THE SAME FOR OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS ALL OVER THE WORLD! RICH OR POOR! GOD'S COMPASSION ISNT PREJUDICED OR BIASED AND NEITHER SHOULD OURS BE.
