An interesting world we live in...

I've just now noticed that both my post's titles have ellipsis in them. I guess I'm more of a fan than I thought. Not that it matters, but it's probably because my title's are a titillating look into my conscious mind. Not that its all the titillating...or that I'm all that conscious. And there's the ellipsis again. Oh well.

Yesterday, to my surprise, Heath Ledger died. It came totally out of nowhere, too. And although I know I'm just adding to the enormous amount of attention this is getting, I figure its an interesting topic to discuss, since everyone is speculating suicide.

It's funny how we hear about so many celebrity suicides (or attempts) these days. I heard from a friend Owen Wilson tried it sometime last month. It makes un-famous people (like myself), wonder why, with all their fame and fortune, they do it.

Its an interesting world we live in, yes indeed. As I can plainly tell money and fame doesn't buy happiness, but this has been known forever. Did anyone even care to wonder about Heath's mental health before his death? I sure didn't...it came as a complete surprise to me. It brings me back to the Virginia Tech shootings and how everyone began speculating about the mental health of the shooter after the shooting occurred. It seems to me like people always try to understand why bad things happen after the fact. Well, my friends, hindsight's 20/20.

And that brings me to my point, which I just now realized.

There are other people out there, too, and they're just like you. And they're struggling. If you lend them a hand I'm sure they'll lend you theirs.

We all need help sometimes.
