Dave, did you ever consider that id we as a society stopped lionizing celebrities who take their own lives through willful acts or through misadventure, if we stopped fawning like schoolgirls at a Bieber concert everytime one of them did something like this, that they, and by association ‘regular people’ would possibly think twice about doing it themselves - ans thus make the world a better place?
“My life was horrible, but people will love me in death.”
And so they go on killing themselves knowing there will be either a National day of mourning in their honor or even just a nice article in the local paper.
Instead, we should call it what it is. A bad thing. A warning to others to get their poop straight.
Instead, we have Michael Jacksonian spectacles where they have parades and memorial TV concerts and their record sales skyrocket...telling the next generation that this is a great way to go down in history.
It is sad that this happens. It it not ‘attractive’ to enable that behavior. That’s something you may wish to ponder.
