Yet the world stops for an Actor!!!! Who in all respects was on top of the world looking down at us mere mortals. Certainly he was a Millionaire and Famous. Poor guy had it so tough. Really? Sorry but I have no sympathy for this. Sure he was a good comedian and I enjoyed watching his Movies/Shows. But I sure as hell am not going to weep a single tear for someone who has it all and is still not enough for them.

Sorry if I offend any of you. Not my intention. He did take his own life. So exactly why should we feel sorry for him? He took the cowards path, the selfish path. Obviously could care less about anyone else but himself.

Rant over.......

Don't see any rant here.....legitimate points made, why I brought it up. We currently live in a backwards society where doing wrong and lying is rewarded and helping out and being honest is chastised. Like the world went to opposites. After WWII, GI's coming home got parades...then GI's returning from Vietnam got spit on, and one cowardly Vietnam vet even to be our current Secretary of State while having a net worth of 190 Million$ and spewing income equality. So, we reward the popular and leave the soldier unnoticed.

I have to agree with Joe. And also with an article I just read on this.

Here's a quote from that article:

Happiness and contentment are not found in our talents, our money, our luxuries, or our reputations. If wealthy, brilliant, beloved people tell us anything when they murder themselves, it must be that.

Here's a quote from that article:

Yup, the less crap I owned and the more freedom I had was when my stress level was lowest. With very little money I slept in a Volkswagen, had cold beer, chicks galore.....it's what you make of life, gotta be careful between the ears. Anybody can be sad, or happy, regardless of what they have.

Robin Williams was found in a partially seated positon with a belt around his neck, the end of the belt scrunched between a closed door and the door frame. His wrists had small cuts from a pocketknife found there. Rigor had already set in. He had the world by the nuts and this is how he died. It's all between the ears.

That's another way to express my sig line, "the mind is the limiting factor" Joe
