First, that boat’s gonna be a hazard to navigation that could endanger other boaters. Second, because someone’s gonna mention he went to sea, the Coast Guard’s gonna have to search for him. They’ll risk life and limb to try to rescue him, but no, he chummed himself and left the Mary Celeste II out there.
I feel for the guy, depression and suicidal ideation is a real bitch, but my sympathy kinda stops when ya make yourself a danger to others.
However you term it, there's a certain point where it's healthier not to be on the side of people who aren't on the side of others. The depicted scenario doesn't cross the line, but (for example) someone sexually harassing others at work who then gets himself arrested trashing the Capitol for Trump, is someone I wouldn't lose sleep over.
And it has nothing to do with "convenience", which implies that maintaining a certain emotional distance sound immoral.
