Robin Williams: R.I.P.

Robin Williams was a very funny comedian/actor. His passing was a tragic one. He lost his battle with depression and committed suicide via hanging.

I remember growing up watching Mork and Mindy, a sitcom that starred Williams as the alien Mork. It was a funny show and if you have not seen it go find it on Netflix or whatever you can stream it on. He had made alot of funny and some serious movies during his career. I know that movies like Ms. Doubt-fire, What Dreams May Come, Aladdin, and Hook are all showing up on people's favorite list of William's movies. Some never mention Good Morning Vietnam, Cadillac Man,  Good Will Hunting, Dead Poets Society, Jumanji, and the list goes on.

But what angers me about all of this is when news outlets and Christian groups add their commentary. I found out recently that an anchor on Fox news called Williams a coward for taking his own life. Christian groups are starting the whole he will burn in hell for all eternity because he took his own life. It is insulting to me what people say about other people when something tragic happens.

He took his own life due to depression/mental illness. People are claiming that they never knew he was depressed or troubled. Some people are good at hiding it. He was a celebrity, but he is also a person like all of us too.
