It's the Cure, Not the Disease

One of our local bankruptcy trustees often tries to make those who feel guilty about filing bankruptcy feel better by using a health care analogy:

A person who has a serious disease or health problem certainly would not feel guilty about having surgery, undergoing radiation therapy or taking medicine to cure that disease or overcome that health problem.  In the same way, a person who has a significant debt problem should not feel guilty about using bankruptcy as a way to solve that problem.  Overwhelming debt is like the disease, and bankruptcy is like the surgery or the medicine used to cure that disease.  Neither the disease or the medicine may be very pleasant, but if the end result is a financial fresh start, it will be well worth it at the end of the process.
