Stephen Fry on self pity

If you're British, you'd need no introduction to Stephen Fry.

If you're not, this man is on another level of celebrity in the UK. He is famous for being a personality of television, film, theatre, comedy, etc etc though probably on equal measures, his fame resides around his health, that being his mental health. Fry is a manic-depressant.

I could rattle on about Fry for a while, though I think he is a niche subject, albeit one I am extremely interested in. He is a former juvenile delinquent, a Cambridge graduate, a brilliant man, a Jew against the state of Israel, a complete anomaly.

Instead, I just wanted to embed this one-minute opinion piece where Fry speaks of self pity. I abhor self pity, and I try to live my life avoiding it; this is turn makes me somewhat unsympathetic towards other people. Not the best trait, I hasten to add.

YouTube is refusing to allow me to embed the video, though do click here to hear it. See what you think.
