Sometimes the fans of celebs who commit suicide make me truly sick to my stomach. Some of these celebs are "not so great people". Their fans are always gushing about what a shame it was that a particular celeb took his or her life. In my opinion, maybe they should have done it sooner so as to spare all the people that they have victimized and denied a life and a living. "A few minutes of pleasure for them and a whole lifetime of healing for us." Think about it. As if they were the only ones that had any worth, and every one else was simply fodder.

I agree with you 100 percent. Most of these people, and those who idolize them, were (and are) sick people.

If I like a celebrity at all, I like them to be a positive influence. I like people who have made a positive difference in my life. Denis Istomin isn't one of the big name tennis players, but he has influenced my life very positively. People who overcome obstacles in their lives to succeed inspire me.

This thread is insensitive toward people who have lost loved ones to suicide, as well as to people who attempted suicide.





EDIT: Changed "committed" to "attempted".

While I can see how people who have lost loved ones to suicide might find this thread insensitive , how would the people who committed suicide find it insensitive - they're dead :?:

In what way?

Now I agree with your post but am still as puzzled as Raleigh about the OP's post.

I thought the OP was talking specifically about celebrities who committed suicide or those who had bad habits and died young-and the culture that glorifies such people and behaviors. I think this does a great disservice to everyday people who are struggling and who aren't bad people. A lot of the celebrities who fit that culture were definitely not nice people throughout their lives.

My original post is sensitive to "victims" of celebs who have committed suicide.

Rape and a beating that caused brain damage.

Some celebs commit suicide because they don't want to endure the ravages of disease and old age. I'm talking specifically about abject criminals who reach celeb status, don't value life, and consider their bodies and everybody's bodies "amusement parks". Some celebs are and were psychopaths. Psychopaths don't know they are psychopaths but their victims do. Psychopaths live out their lives as best as it is for themselves. When it isn't any good anymore, they do themselves in. When younger and better take their place and there is nothing they can do about it. It simply becomes too much for their ego and they self-destruct. It's not always about sadness and depression. Did you ever wonder "why" a person is so sad? Is it because no one worships the great God they imagine themselves to be? Is it because the whole world isn't giving them a living? Sometimes it's not about clinical depression. Sometimes it is a twisted self-indulgence. Multiple mental illnesses. If they're not worshipped, they lash out. Even after they're dead, people that know them, fear them. Maybe because they just might not be dead. That's how bad it could get. They consume souls the way a lion consumes meat. Do you think that a Lion thinks about the animal it ate other than thinking about how delicious it's flesh tasted.
