Hey........depression is a dark heartless bitch and who knows what other issues that he had going on in that head of his, but I stand by what I said that suicide is the cowardly way out, and that is regardless of what a person has been through. I had a long time childhood friend that killed himself a few years back, and everyone that he has left behind is still trying to cope with it, same can be said for an old work colleague of mine. There is nobody that I hold a higher regard for than our soldiers, but many are able to cope with their demons and endure......they don't give up. I did not say Robin Williams or people who end it all are cowards, I said it was a cowardly thing to do, so don't put words in my mouth and say that is what was intently meant. Soldiers, those in healthcare, law enforcement, firemen and EMT, think they don't see and deal with horrible shit every damn day? Everyone has a different threshold for dealing with shit and for how much they can take, but death is final and no coming back from that. Think what you want concerning what I said, you too are known to speak your mind and not have everyone agree with you either. There is no BEING for me to thank for doing what I choose or not choose to do, because choice is what we have.
