Wow Robin Williams Dies

[Gandalf]

Also sorry for my drunken retorts in this thread earlier. The death just upset me because it is terrible. It is a Robin Williams thread, not a me thread. One can make the argument that suicide is a chickens move, but let any normal person hack at their arms for a few minutes and then actually finish the job with a belt. It's easy for a living person to criticise that and say it's cowardly.

No it isn't cowardly. If you disagree, then try yourself. Hack at the arms, make them bloody. Then tie a noose around your neck and die. That's a serious intent. Then of course Williams had provided for the ex-wives, put trust funds for the kids and he did his thing. A coward would run and give nothing, this man was a giver. A coward is like the majority, they live on and on, but like a Dad in the West never give anything, and they never die.

Robin Williams, even through suicide, was a significant class above the still living.

I think people are generally fed up with mental health sufferers. It's easy enough to be the bleeding heart liberal on paper and say all this stuff about being tolerant and all that other nonsense, but to be dealing with them is a whole other story.

ME ME ME!!! MY NEEDS! MY SUFFERING!!! YOU DONT KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE MEEEEEE! WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE MEEEEEE! HELP MEEEE! UNDERSTAND MEEEE! MEE MEE MEEEEEEE! HOW COME YOUR WORLD DOESN'T REVOLVE AROUND MEEEEE!

Ugh.

Sorry, I perhaps I shouldn't be personal. It's just you post as though you are an idiot.

Yeah but you can't pick apart what's wrong or stupid about what I said mate.

I don't even think you comprehend what I said.

Yeah your last post was all a bit high brow for me....

Very classy too considering what this thread is about.

To put it simply, yes of course suicide is selfish, and yes of course it's the wrong decision. But the point is me (and you I presume) are making that judgement with a healthy mind.
Clinical, deep depression robs somebody of that rational thought process. So we should not judge their desperate actions when we are not in their position.
Would you judge a dementia sufferer by the actions they take?

The very nature of depression is that it changes your brain patterns. Sufferers do not have the benefit of the rational, logical minds that healthy people have.
