I was so sad to read about Robin Williams passing. Even more sad to read that it was a suicide. Depression is not something to take as a joke or take lightly - it is very serious. When you suspect that someone is depressed, you need to have compassion and empathy for this person and listen. Sometimes all they need is a listening ear and someone who cares. Of course, there are those who do not show signs that they are depressed or have suicide thoughts and that is where the Always be Kind comes to play. Regardless of how happy they seem, always be kind. Dont judge, dont criticize and dont be mean. I dont care if I know someone or not, but if I think they are depressed or just feeling down, I try my best to offer a listening ear and show my compassion for them. I have read so many negative comments on the passing of Robin Williams saying that its selfish, and this is a good article explaining all of this. I am not reposting this to start some debate, but rather for a different perspective.
