There are many paths to happiness, no need to denigrate this man's life.

I don't think he was doing that. It's just a perspective.

It is when I read these stories that I truly consider how short our lives are. I can't stop thinking about how fragile our beliefs are once we hold them up against someone elses values, earthshaking.

The grandparent post compared the farmer's experience to being lobotomized - if that's not denigration of someone's life, what is?

He very definitely was being derogatory.
