This one is definitely a big bummer. It just goes to show that you don't know celebrities at all even though you're tricked into thinking you do.
i have faced depression, its a scary place to be and when you are out of it, you never want to go back.
This one bothers me, too. It seems sad that so many comedic actors appear to have many inner demons--perhaps the comedy is put out there to mask pain. And obviously, money doesn't buy happiness or it wouldn't be a cliche.
I feel you bro. I felt kinda sad a few weeks ago about Johnny Winter because I had seen him play a number of times but I was surprised to find out he was only 70. The first time I saw him he was probably about 30 and he looked 70 then. Even though I never saw Robin Williams live I felt like I knew him. He was an incredible entertainer.
Celebrity deaths almost never have much of an effect on me. I'll read about them and think, yeah, that's sad. It's a shame. And then I go on. But this one? This one stings.
Money buys security, not happiness. They are two different things. My husband grew up dirt poor and incredibly unhappy. I grew up with modest money, at best. We could never afford vacations, etc., but all of our needs were met. I was aware that many people had a lot more money than we had, but I was happy. Now, my husband has enough money to be able to feel comfortable and secure--but he's still unhappy most of the time. He thinks I walk around ignoring reality; however, I just choose to feel happy more often than sad. And I've come to believe that IS a choice. Some people cannot do that.
