So Robin Williams finally put his pain to rest yesterday. Its not such a great surprise when someone like this projects so much laughter might be crying inside. Humor is after all, frequently the study of irony in action. Chronic depression is about the most miserable thing one can hope to endure, it grinds on you like a flesh eating bacterial, always looking for a soft spot to apply the Coup de grâce, a willful surrender in hopes of some promise of peace and quiet from the screaming, taunting choirs in ones mind. When you watch someone on the path towards self-destruction, or have walked it yourself, it is so tempting at times to take the short cut to the Dead End of the street. Drama and struggle is highly overrated, suffering is not divine nor truly holds no reward short of simply getting through another day on the right side of the dirt. Each of us is different, each has their own threshold from which to voluntarily make that leap into the abyss, though most of us wait for nature to shove us into it against our will. Watch the people you care for and hope they watch you in return. Sometimes love is not enough, but it can be the best chance you may have against such an irrevocable solution to momentary problem. Thank you Robin for a lot of wonderful years of laughter — now get some much needed and well earned rest.
