Robin Williams Suicide
The recent passing of Robin Williams has brought a lot of strong beliefs and opinions to the surface surrounding suicide.
It’s pretty common to hear and see pools of thought like, “how can a person with so much to be grateful for commit suicide”. One person’s perception of happiness and success may vary greatly from person to person.
What is being projected for the outside world to see, can often times be illusionary in nature. That illusion serving to protect and safeguard what is truly active within a person.
No matter what degree of perceived success and happiness one achieves in this life or the next; one thing that holds true is that we are all having an experience, a human experience.
This includes Robin Williams, it includes me, and it also includes you. Because of this, there is a very real possibility that each one of us may, at some point in life, find ourselves contemplating our own demise.
Life has a interesting way of arranging circumstances in order to reveal us to deeper aspects of ourselves. Even strong willed and strong-minded people can find themselves questioning their mentality.
I didn’t know Robin Williams personally. I am only aware of the characters he portrayed in movies. From that I do pickup a very genuine and wholesome feel about him.
I do not know if he did commit suicide, I am only aware of what the media is reporting, which can sometimes be the furthest from the truth.
If Robin Williams did transition by way of suicide, he did so on his terms. My perception of him is not altered one bit. I know the energy that animated his meat-suit continues on, and always will in some form or another.
The way we transition is not as important as the experiences gathered while having the experience. What are your views on this and your views on suicide and why?

Unfortunately Robin did commit suicide - he was also known for suffering from sever depression for most of his life, this is what caused him to be an alcoholic and cocaine addict.
It was only in the 80's, that he stopped when is friend John Belushi died of an overdose.
He was sober for 20 years and then the constant battle of depression caught up with him again and he went back to re-hab - not for falling of the wagon - but to get a tune up (their words)
Suicide is a tough thing - it easy for us to lay judgment and say he/she did not have to do that. But we don't know. We have no idea what's going on in their heads.
And I don't know -
I do know I don't have the demons that others suffer from - like most people I have challenges but for me there is nothing that could ever be that bad, so that's why suicide would NEVER be an option.
And that's why I will never understand why people choose suicide as an option.
It was very unfortunate. I have noticed a trend with comedians. It seems as if they make all of us laugh, but are crying, and hurting on the inside, and behind closed doors. Money doesn't always buy happiness, and these stars are prime examples of that.
I suffer from depression and I am also a recovering alcoholic as well as recovering from a life time of emotional abuse and I can understand why people commit suicide as I have been close to it my self
When the pain inside a person is greater the the resources to deal with it, it is then that people commit suicide
The thing that has saved me is this, I have found my purpose in life and purpose = power
