because when it doesn ' t occur , you don ' t notice it . <| sep |> I disagree completely . To put a pedophile on the level as someone who is suffering from schizophrenia or suicidal thought is a gross oversimplification . Let me be completely explicit , To have feelings of a sexual nature toward children is wrong , there is no justification for it whatsoever , regardless of any action taken . The majority of pedophiles embrace their fantasies , they may keep it secret , or even never act on them , but vast majority will never see what they are doing as morally wrong , and that very aspect is what separates mental illness and pedophilia I won ' t argue that there ' s a narrative that will ultimately link the two together , just as there is a link to murder and mental illness , or rape and mental illness , but if you ' re saying that pedophilia is anything more than objectively wrong , you ' re a pedophilia apologist .
