I don’t usually comment on popular news but this one kindof made me gasp. I am sad for this man, his family, fans, and those who will never get to see/know him.
Su***de affects black, white, yellow, purple and gold. It doesn’t discriminate by gender or age. It isn’t bias against particular religions, nationalities or creeds.
Su***de is also NOT a sin! It is a choice that often is VERY calculated especially for adults who have suffered depression/ other disabilities for years. Believe it or not it actually takes a level of courage to commit su***de.
It is not something we should feel embarrassed about. It is nothing we should hate over.
No doubt, hearing of someone committing or planning to commit su***de can be frustrating, and cause feelings of anger to rise. That is natural! Please know- those feelings come from a place of deep seated FEAR. (An emotion we ALL possess and should deepen to comprehend in ourselves)
Understanding Su***de requires empathy, sadness, grief, grace, understanding, focused attention, awareness and MOST importantly LOVE!
I am in NO WAY saying we should commit su***de or making excuses for anybody who does. I am only saying there is more to the story than meets the eye.
If you or someone you know is considering a self harm/suicidal action PLEASE 🙏🏽 CONTACT HELP!
While su***de/self harm is an option it is most definitely not the ONLY OPTION!
I love y’all,
Stay happy, healthy, wealthy, and wise
