freedom1776 Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Thinking about how much our lives don’t touch each others. Wondering if its true we get back what we put in, or are we casual observers and critics of what we would like to be, or not to be. No pun intended. Thinking of Robin Williams, one of the few people I had always hoped I would talk to one day. A Man I truly idolized for his free and bubbling wit. He appeared to have nailed down the most charming things about being human, not so much about making others laugh or the popularity, just being able to be aloof of the dogma that for sure hinders me from making the best of the moment. Wondering how many others are out there that I think are on top of things but ready to end all as well because they believe they are out of options. I do believe finances had to have been a large part of Robins demise. How could any one have any optimism about their future facing such tremendous dept. Who wouldn’t give Robin half their pay check every week to show him, see Mr Williams, its only money, what you have and you give to the rest of us is worth so much more. Not to appear pathetic here living the life of others, but one must admit seeing Robin work put a skip in ones step and a smile on your face. Maybe people like Robin gave all to others. He was here for us, but we weren't there for him? I know we are one human Family, together we can fill the voids and add hope to each others lives. Will be missing Robin for a long time. 1
powder Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Interesting post, not sure what you are really trying to say here 1776, or how it relates exactly to the title of the thread. Can you expand on the statement "we were not there for him" - do you mean giving him $?
freedom1776 Posted August 30, 2014 Author Posted August 30, 2014 I meant what a shame it is that people fall through the cracks because of the way society is. What really matters, or I should say what should matter, does not. Robin need not have ended his life. There are plenty of people that could have shown him hope and life was well worth living. People of status such as his are cut off from civilization, its bad parts but also good things it has to offer. If I could have called on him, he would think I was after his money or I was a gay and after his body, neither of which would have been true but how could he have any trust in anyone claiming they just wanted to help. He had learned the world has many deceitful people in it, I don’t think he knew it also has people that really care. How about if he had made a call to Freedomain Radio? I know Stefan could have had him see things differently. I didn’t agree with Robins politics, I think he was more duped than the average person, his lack of info showing Men are Mortal idiots and don’t take this place to seriously cause some think they are in charge. We are all in this life together , but separated needlessly through the idiocracy of uniformed people.

You still said, "what really matters, or what should matter" but still didn't say exactly what that is. Is it reaching out to people who are cut off from society as you say? Don't know much about Robin's personal life or problems but I do not see us all as victims in the way you describe. Life is about choices.
freedom1776 Posted August 30, 2014 Author Posted August 30, 2014 People should matter to each other. We are 1 and the same Human family. The way people "deal"? with each other is what I stuggle with. There is more than enough on this planet for all of us to be more than happy and satisfy all our ambitions and dreams. I could go on for days about what is wrong, and you may not agree. A start is finding out why bad things happen to us, and who's fault it is.
powder Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 this is a philosophy site, where volunteerism and the Non Aggression Principle (NAP) are promoted. For me, just about everything 'wrong with the world', and the only issue I have with people's interaction with each other has to do with violating the NAP. I sense you are proposing something else. Do you think people didn't care enough about Robin's well-being or that 'we' have some responsibility to intervene in his life?
