No disrespect to Robin, sucks he died, but now Im going to have to see him all over the media that will milk this for every penny as people sit back and watch then pretend to give a fuck about depression awareness and suicide prevention for a month or two until the next thing to pretend to care about comes along to create the facade of being a caring good person.

Hes become a temperary martyr just like MJ and Whitney Houston and Heath Ledger and Bob Marley and that one fat blond comedian from that white ninja movie. Lets see how far his Martyr fame takes him.

Its like ground hog day. People watch and say, "we can all learn a lesson from this" but nobody ever actually learns a lesson.

looks like he finaly hung it up

nah, sucks he died, but was never really a fan. r.i.p. though, in a few weeks after the media stops talking about it.

Damn fam I woke up and saw this shit. Jumanji was the movie of my childhood lol.

RIP R.W and all the people dying in Palestine, Syria, ect ect

It's Robin Williams if you couldn't tell he would commit suicide then you fail at understanding who he was.

Depression is rampant. Always has been. Its just more of a focus now that we live in an age to better study and understand it. Like autism. Autism isn't new or a sudden epidemic; it existed for long years just misunderstood or under different labels.

 And juggalos are the same depression level with any music fans, it just appears more prevalent due to maybe the fact that juggalos feel more open to discussing it with one another. Perhaps too much lol. But its a cool thing overall, for humans to be so open to oneanother in tthis familial subculture that we are all a part of. I personally do not have any mental illnesses, but know that I could attach one if I open up the DSM-IV. I have never been medicated for a mental illness. I drink too much beer, but this is not a depression-related self-medication. I really enjoy it. I wouldn't be any more or less depressed without beer. . I'm fortunate enough to only have situational life periods that naturally have given me healthy sadness. And we all have shit days. I don't view peeps on meds as being any weaker.

I agree with you for the most part, but I wanna add a few things. I feel like depression in spurts is just a part of life they gave a name to in order to sell some pills. That is not to say that medication cant help depression, but I think we need to stop and think about what these pills do to your chemistry. They are meant for short term but I know people who have been on them for years and sometimes decades.

Im not trying to belittle mental illness, but i think our need for instant gratification in this country is a big part of why we get hooked on these pills. Yall ever stop for a minute and wonder, maybe we are supposed to be sad sometimes? Sadness can be a good thing sometimes.

To paraphrase Roland Deschain: "A gunslinger doesnt have to die happy, just satisfied".

If it gets too much to handle, please talk to somebody first before putting those pills in you. I will gladly give my number our to anyone who needs it.

I cant give advice but im a good listener.

@slumerican502 

True that . And I feel a small tome for uplifting and generally interesting "gunslinger quotes" would be cool. A little mini book like the Dharmapadda. 

"Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy" has your point in mind. That we CANT be happy all the time. Ever see it? People take a pill that sends your brain to your favorite memory. But soon people start getting stuck there. Its funny because one of the character's favorite memory is gay sex with other men in Vietnam or something. Its a funny Canadian flick in parts.

Also, anyone read up on Keanu Reeves' tragic life story? Basically he had a rough one too, but isn't suicidal. He simply says, "Some people need happiness to live. I don't." Hahaha that's some Roland shit right there. I wonder if Neo has roots in Gilead?
