Robin Williams

Sad to see him go.  It also triggers some thoughts, some of which may not be healthy. 

Depression begins with disappointment.  When disappointment festers it leads to depression.

We overcome some obstacles.  When we have overcome these obstacles or disappointments, it is not entirely satisfying  because of the boredom it produces.  What is next?  I do not know.

"One could argue that most of the trouble in the world is caused by introspection.”
Nick Hornby, A Long Way Down



 “We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and — in spite of True Romance magazines — we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely — at least, not all the time — but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don’t see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”  Hunter S. Thompson
Good advice.  Perhaps it is arrogance, but I have my self-respect.
