I watched the Charlie Sheen documentary, and it sat heavy with me.

What struck me most is how much our society loves a “train wreck.”
When Charlie was spiraling in addiction, instead of help, he was handed a tour.
“Winning.”
“Tiger blood.”
We repeated the catchphrases, turned them into memes—
but we didn’t step in.

At one point he says, “It would have been nice if someone had stepped in, like—this is not a spectacle for everyone’s folly. This is a man that’s in trouble.”

And he was right.
It wasn’t entertainment.
It was a man’s cry for help.

We watched someone drowning in the disease of addiction,
and we laughed and enabled it.

Thankfully, he is now sober—showing up for his children and himself.
But wow… we must do better.
Because behind every public “train wreck” is a human being in pain,
who deserves compassion.

That’s what his story should remind us.
