Robin Williams made me laugh as hard as any comedian. He could do that and then play some really great serious roles. The amazing thing was he would take all parts, small or big, and be equally as amazing at all of them. From the Genie on Aladdin, to Patch Adams, to the creepy dude on One Hour Photo - he nailed all the parts.

His Robin Williams on Broadway was the funniest stand up comedy I have ever seen. He was just brilliant - he jumped from different race, religion, to nationalities and offended everyone in the process. If you want to see comic genius, watch that performance.

Hate to see he couldn't get past his demons. Just can't ever understand suicide but I will not judge.

"Money can't buy happiness"

For those that have experienced a true depressive state will understand. Those that haven't, will not.


I had a friend kill himself. He battled terrible depression and headaches for years. He tried to get help. He even told his parents that he couldn't go on any longer and was going to end his own misery but wished he could have been helped instead. He wanted to get better, he cried out for help and in the end he felt there was no hope left and killed himself.

Truly sad case. He was a great guy.

if you think money and happiness are exclusive, you simply aren't spending it right.

Woot, what is it that divorce took away from you? Can you tell me what you are missing now that you had before?

I just blamed myself for it, I was cheated on but why? Obviously I felt I failed and that killed me and took a huge part of my life away.

From my perspective (spiritually/philosophically) this life is about personal responsibility. We own our shit and accept the consequences of our actions or inaction, etc. So from my personal perspective the only entity you truly owe an "explanation" to (for lack of a better word) is your own divine self (as opposed to some external being, i.e., God). IOW, checking yourself out can be a perfectly acceptable solution to a hopeless (terminal/chronic/debilitating) situation. I'm all for medically assisted suicide. NOBODY has the right to tell you that you should continue to live when there's no hope of things improving. We deserve at least as good as we give our pets.

Things get messy when mental illness or substances and their possible abuse enter into the picture, unfortunately.

This out of the blue suicide shit, though? Seriously, the survivors beat the hell out of themselves saying "what could I have done differently?" "what did/didn't I say?" Just leave a note for crying out loud. Doesn't have to be fancy. Something like what George Sanders left (after taking five bottles of barbiturates in Barcelona):

“Dear World, I am leaving because I am bored. I feel I have lived long enough. I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool. Good luck.”

Sad, but you have to admire his style, and at least nobody is left wondering if there is something they ought to have done.
