In this video, the real Patch Adams talks about depression, loneliness, and tendencies toward suicide - his own. Robin Williams could have learned so much from him. Life is priceless, why do people sell out for a few dollars worth of fame or status? When Death Comes by Mary Oliver When death comes like the hungry bear in autumn; when death comes and takes all the bright coins from his purse to buy me, and snaps the purse shut; when death comes like the measle-pox when death comes like an iceberg between the shoulder blades, I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering: what is it going to be like, that cottage of darkness? And therefore I look upon everything as a brotherhood and a sisterhood, and I look upon time as no more than an idea, and I consider eternity as another possibility, and I think of each life as a flower, as common as a field daisy, and as singular, and each name a comfortable music in the mouth, tending, as all music does, toward silence, and each body a lion of courage, and something precious to the earth. When its over, I want to say all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms. When its over, I dont want to wonder if I have made of my life something particular, and real. I dont want to find myself sighing and frightened, or full of argument. I dont want to end up simply having visited this world. youtube/watch?v=Maw4Xg-6RAw
