There's a
saying that goes "those who commit suicide don't end their pain, they leave
it on the shoulders of those who they left behind".
just to add that i think who came up with this saying was selfish to say the
least. Lacking in empathy too.
perhaps they would have been better off keeping their mouth shut and spent
time learning about people and attempting to put themselves in others shoes
It really, really pisses me off that people should be so callous and spout
off about soemthing they know fuck all about.
That is one of the major things wrong with this world-the lack of empathy
and caring. Peopl are all to willing to bury their heads in the sand, look
the other way, turn a blind eye etc to what is going on around them(which is
how many many children are abused to the point of death weekly) and it these
same fuckers who make such judgemental statemetns about those that decide
they can't take the shit anymore. Shame on them. It is so much easier to
blame the victim. Oh and in many cases, too many, there is no who gives a
shit if a person does take their life! Instead of coming of with ignorant
crap like the above statement, they'd be bettor off searching themselves and
seeing what they could do, really do, to lessen the load people have to
carry.
I rememeber a few years back sharing abotu a young man, an acquaintence, who
had been terribly abused, cigarrettes stubbed out on him, beatings, no lo ve
etc. he cried out for help. he went to a hospital where he was truend away.
He went away-and threw himself off the 14th floor of a tower block. I was
amzed at the callous response that got from someone:'it was his choice'.
clearly the responder knew nothing about the human psyche and how damaged it
could become. as far as I am aware there was no one who really gave a shit
about Michael, alive or dead.
As for Cobain-none of us have walked in his shoes, none of us know what was
going on inside him and therefore sghould not judge what he did. I think
partly with famous and rich people, it is envy that makes people make such
statements. Why should he be any different to anyone else? Or do you really
think riches and fame makes a person happy?
It is a sad world we live in and we are the cause. As in Joni's song Man is the sire
of sorrow.
