Life was never intended for us all to be perfect and the same, and molds each of us into what fate intended for us to be all along. Some of us are a lil nicer and more stable or prosperous. But that doesn't mean you can write off the latter as unrespectable. Of course that's just my opinion
I agree with all that, and found that Jimi definitely sounds like a person I'd respect if I met him. He also came from a very broken household which I think can explain a lot of his problems.
