People take pictures of the happy moments in their lives.
Someone looking through our photo album would conclude that we had led a joyous, leisurely existence free of tragedy.
No one ever takes a photograph of something they want to forget.

It's tragic that a man who brought unmeasurable amounts of joy to this horrible fucking planet had to go out in such a dark, lonely way. I hope he found peace from whatever it was that was haunting him. It's our job to try and make up for his loss, because the world is a much darker place without him.

Am I the only one that thinks this guy should not be cheered by everyone in the USA because he hung himself?

Yesterday, while at Wendy's getting coffee, I saw an old man sitting all alone in the dining room.

It made me incredibly sad to think why he was there, all dressed up, all by himself. Maybe this is the place he used to come with his late Wife? Maybe he just has no friends and is slowly watching the clock on his limited time left? Was this all I had to look forward to in life?

I guess I didn't want to forget it.

Yes because you're missing the point completely. Congratulations.

He had a very bad drug problem. That can start very early in life before you have enough perspective to make mature choices, and then the physical addiction caused by a few bad choices can haunt you for the rest of your life. He was seeking help recently, but who knows how much damage it had done to him by then. Obviously a lot though; he must have been miserable. Sometimes things happen and they are really nobody's fault. So yes, we are allowed to celebrate his life. RIP.

Always make time for the elderly. I used to be a postman and was the highlight of ~25 people's days even if I only saw them briefly. A lot of them didn't have any visiting family and the warden who ran the place was a bitch.

Sad picture that, I'd sit down with him for a coffee.

Folks: Call your grandparents. Say hi. For me it has been way too long.
