Arguably the best stand-up, improv, comedian in the last 30
years suffered from depression and when suicide was the only option he saw, the
world lost a very funny man.
Robin Williams had money, so the cost of counselling or
medication was not an obstacle. We may never know (nor does anyone need to
know) the final straw that broke this man to the point of seeing only one door
left to open, but it may have been something that anybody else may have
shrugged off as being minor.
Regardless of notoriety, this goes to show how people can
appear happy, funny, and even joking on the outside, while simultaneously being
torn apart by inner demons.
Be kind to your friends and family – you never know what is
going on behind laughing eyes.
R.I.P. Mr. Williams.
