I'm getting tired of hearing about people who seem to have every advantage and enough money to live out their dreams but can not cope with what life has to offer. Help can be found behind so many doors and these people have keys that can open them.
And this morning 58 Tweets from celebrity friends are posted on the Internet. From President Obama to the lowest "D" list actor words of love and sadness permeate cyberspace.
These are not the actual Tweets but PICTURES of the Tweets.
The tribute is ironic for a man who made his living in a verbal and multidimensional art form.
Sure, we all know Robin Williams had demons. His battles with drugs and alcohol are legendary. But he was just a person, like so many others that have problems. It's too bad he couldn't figure out how to get help. He took the easy way out.
Suicide is a selfish act.
I'm so sorry if you think I sound like Bitter Bob or Caustic Charlie today but aside from living in North Dakota I can't think of much worse than dead.
So here I sit examining my fingernails, contemplating my navel and agonizing over this post. I don't know if I should publish the piece or dump it in the round file. But I'm angry. Everyone has problems and issues and aspects of their lives they wish were different. I know I do.
I wish I could lose five pounds.
I wish......
I know there are some other things.
“Lord, grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot
change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” ― Francis
of Assisi
This is good advice.
It seems simple enough to me.

I think many have had similar thoughts. I heard a friend of Robin Williams on a talk show today saying she was angry cuz he had so many friends he could have reached out to, but didn't. No one walks in another's shoes but this has hurt an entire country, I believe, and even given and "ok" to the act of suicide.
It is a horrible way out and so hurtful to those who loved him. It needed to be said Chuck.
I think sometimes we have to think of our families ahead of ourselves. I can't imagine putting my loved ones through it. That being sad as a younger person I did contemplate suicide. This world is very cruel and can tear a sensitive person to shreds. I feel very sorry he thought that was the only way out.
Oops that being said not sad
