2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Thom Hartmann Just Called Bullshit on Hillary Supporters Claims of Bernie's DNC support [View all]I loved Robin Williams. Loved his intelligence, his quickness, humor, kindness, heart, his broad shoulders and hairy chest, just everything about him. At work, he was the screen saver on my computer, to the amusement of my coworkers. I knew he had depressions, alcohol abuse, problems. After his suicide, I was angry with his wife, as reading between the lines I determined that she didn't really love him. After learning about the Lewy Body Dementia diagnosis, I could understand why he did what he did. Later I found out how lonely he had been as a child and wished again that I could have known him, could have given him the love he needed. I hope he's happy somewhere.
If hope your attraction to messed up people is based in compassion and not in superiority, curiosity or ridicule. I also hope you realize that most if not all "normal" people have layers and layers and layers.
