can we talk about my high school principal’s decision to share details of his degenerative disease with 4,000+ alumni via email? because there are some things i… almost don’t want to know, and i can’t decide whether or not that makes me selfish. am i uncomfortable with knowing this much about his condition? or do i just not like being reminded that a man who was once unbearably kind and compassionate to me during a rough time is going through a rough time of his own, and there’s not really anything i can do about it?

probably both
