My judgment isn't based on me thinking I know Robin WIlliams, it's based on personal experiences that I've had in my life where people have left children behind.
I understand it's a disease and not something you can just "turn off", but in some situations it's just not acceptable IMO.
well I don't know what you mean when you say "its just not acceptable"... you'd have to define your words very precisely..it could be read any number of ways..
its not acceptable so he's a dick could be one reading.... if that is what you're saying you ought to take a big step back...
its not acceptable so people shouldn't do it if they can at all avoid it could be another reading.... a more human one i would add
the fact you know people who did it means nothing just as it means nothing that henry rollins had a roomate who was depressed......sorry to say.... its not the same... you can't extrapolate one case and make it emblematic of all cases and then draw a judgment....
you really ought to focus a bit more on empathy and be less judgmental of people you don't know...
depression is an illness...very often genetically transmitted and which people often times have no ability to control.... even if they do seek treatment.. it is incredibly complex...certainly more complex than "oh, he took the easy way out, what a dick"......
