Wow Robin Williams Dies

[Gandalf]

Although this story has played itself countless times it's still hard for me to fathom how all that money and fame doesn't dull the pains of depression and can still lead the wealthy to such despair. I've had some hard fought battles in life, can't say suicide never crossed my mind but I've seen what it can do to family and friends left behind. I've had a couple friends take there own life's and it is so utterly tragic. I hope Mr. Williams family takes some solace in laughter he brought to so many

It's complex Walrus. We are all unique and it is hard to know what is going on with someone we know so little about. It is hard to know what sets someone off. Funnily enough yesterday was a bad day for me. I had read too much news and was thinking about my homeland and how horrid it has become there and just the thought of that and a general malaise got to me and for the first time in a long time I had thoughts of harming myself. I didn't and was fine, but depression when it really takes you will just take you. It's just a shame that Williams had to go through this. He had got this far now, but he was hyper sensitive and damaged.

Oh heaven forbid someone else gets talked about for 2 seconds

On that basis, I should mute and run to the covers. I was only trying to give some insight into how a truly depressed mind can work. Depression is universal. And is a condition created by the world that too many are forced to tolerate. Nothing more. Williams couldn't take it anymore. That was all I said.

I happen to believe that upbringing is the cause of most mental illness and thus suicide in the long run. We are actively making people ill. That is not self promoting, it is simply saying that there are many with bad childhoods.
