Another suicide

It appears that another beautiful woman has taken her own life. Lucy Gordon did it a few months ago and now, according to reports, Daul Kim has hung herself. I'm sure she had many friends. However, if a person feels isolated and chooses to stay behind an impenetrable wall, there's very little anyone can do. Up until the last few days, she probably appeared perfectly adjusted and fulfilled.

Another suicide

It appears that another actor has taken his death into his own hands. It was reported that David Carradine hung himself in his hotel room in Bangkok. It was not a publicity stunt - take my word. He was 72. Perhaps he was just so bored and tired of life he decided to take the fast track exit? It's important to enjoy the simple things - even a bologna sandwich should delight you, with or without beer. Enjoy the sunrise, the sunset, a dinner roll, a scoop of plain vanilla ice cream, a slice of tomato, a book you have read twice already, the green grass, the yellow grass, the scorching heat, the bitter cold, the struggle to accomplish your goal - everything. Take the bad with the good. Even some very, very, very poor people in India don't take their own life.

UPDATE June 12, 2009: Now the news is saying that a forensics expert has said that Carradine did not commit suicide - he died of natural causes while playing some sort of kinky sex game with himself. Either way, it is somewhat sad.

Beauty and the Beast

Here is the late Lucy Gordon. A beautiful and very talented woman on the verge of stardom. She had almost everything going for her. She killed herself yesterday and I'm guessing it was due to depression. Many things will be debated about the motive. Do not let anyone tell you that depression is a mental illness. It is a physical illness like every other illness. The human body is nothing more than flesh and blood - chemicals thrown together in a most wonderful and mysterious way. You and I are nothing more than cocktails. Alter the cocktail - like altering a mixed drink recipe - and you can alter the person. This woman could certainly have been helped. Even if some other emotion caused her to take her life, emotions are nothing more than chemical reactions. Sadness or joy or optimism or ambition or laziness or anger or hate. Nothing but chemistry.
