How Fragile Life Can Be

[sorryson]

I do not know where to post this. After hearing of Robin Williams death and seeing my brother I realize how fragile and fleeting life can be. We do not know the demons that are harbored inside others. I now know I want to face my demons and live life. I am afraid of all the past demons taking over and killing me.

I don't have any thoughts on life today, sinse things just seem bad, but I do appreciate the thoughts of the death of Robin Williams. It's quite funny to see someone who was there in so many films as I grew up not be around anymore, especially sinse I remember him so well in Mrs Doutfire, Hook, and of course the king of them all Jomanji!

I played the soundtrack to Aladin in his honour today

"You ain't never had a friend like me"

I might well watch Toys later, one of the best Drk fantasies I know and another of Williams' best rolls.

I have seen many posts on my FB page about the need not to judge others, to have compassion and understanding. One persons wrote of the ignorance of many and how this ignorance only pushes the sufferer into deeper despair. One person wrote the darkness in ones life wins over the beauty that surrounds. I think we all have been in a dark place, some of us have been fortunate to survive and heal, others still struggle and others sadly have left us. I think of my own journey and realize there were dark moments, moments when ignorance could have pushed me over the edge to letting the darkness win. These acts by others are not kindness but acts of cruelty that could have destroyed and pushed someone to take their life. How would those feel if that had been the end result? Would they have laughed, would they have denied what they had done, would they have remorse, would they have sadness, would they see the cruelty in their deeds? Sadly, for some, they had to face this reality.

So everyone be kind and understanding. On my journey to heal, I have learned many if not most people have demons, skeletons, mental health or some other type of issue that impacts their lives. We should not judge because as sorryson who is living with a very difficult and trying situation with his brother's hospitalization said "I realize how fragile and fleeting life can be." It truly is.

I will always remember Robin Williams for his many movies, always brought a laugh, simple and kind humor. There was nothing demeaning in his quest for laughter. He also had some brilliant dramatic roles. We all thought he was on top of the world, but we never know what personal battles anyone is trying to fight.

Sorryson take care of yourself and yes you can beat those demons and live a life your deserve. I hope your brother is doing better.

RW in Dead Poets Society inspired me to be a better teacher. i identified with so many situations that both of the main student characters were dealing with. they needed someone like him so much to help them along. i wanted to be that kind of someone.

I've seen many of the fb posts too and there are several people that piss me off over this. How fake and hypocritical they are.

out of a corner of their mouths they shunned me, and many others, by telling us to get over it.to just be happy. To grow a pair. To pull up my sack and so on. Then out of the other corner of their mouths they say, poor Robin. He suffered for so many years and depression is real. That they wish people would reach out when they hurt and would never berate or turn them away.

yeah, right. People make me sick.

Everyone likes to repeat the old nostrum that 'there are always options,' but
life is in fact full of traps for which there are no remedies.

I have hope but accept the battles can be for a lifetime. There are traps all around us. Some have escaped the traps but for others the traps can consume them. The pain for some is so great that hope is lost. I just hope I can support and comfort people. I never want to be one of those people that torment, harass or abuse someone who is struggling with CSA, depression or any other internal struggle. I personally know these acts only compounds the pain and hurt and could push one beyond hope. I was almost there, without hope just torment and pain from the CSA and my surroundings, but I am thankful for those who gave love and support. They rescued me before the trap snapped and closed on my body.
