R.I.P Robin Williams

Robin Williams Dead at 63

Quote
Oscar winner and comedian Robin Williams died this morning at 63. While his publicist wouldn’t confirm that his death was a suicide, a rep did issue this statement. “Robin Williams passed away this morning. He has been battling severe depression of late. This is a tragic and sudden loss. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.”

Fuck.

It's just not right how someone who spent so much of his time making others laugh would become depressed and commit suicide.

I wish his family well.
I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

My wife just called me (she's in Orlando for a few days), crying because she just saw that in the news.  All I can say is I'm shocked and I feel bad for him and his family.
Whenever I hear a politician speaking strongly for or against abortion, all I hear is, "I have no idea how to fix the economy!"

...I can't even think of anything to say.

This sucks. He was such a great person, on or off cam. He will be sorely missed.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

My friends, tonight, we raise a glass to one of the funniest men of our generation and our childhoods.
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

Oh dear.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

I have nothing really unique to say.  My prayers go out to the family and close friends of Robin Williams.  I really hope his depression had nothing to do with his untimely death.

To me, it's one of the most tragic ironies of life.  Comedians like Robin Williams, Drew Carey, Jim Carrey, and others who make us laugh so much often suffer from depression, either chronic or manic.

"Laughter is free, but it's so hard to be a jester all the time; / 'Cause no-one's believing I'm the same when I'm bleeding / And I hurt all the time deep inside." 

-- Painted Smile by Ray Thomas

I'm gonna miss you, Robin.  You gave your all to make people laugh.   I hope you've found the peace you were looking for.
