Well, now we find out that in addition to struggling with depression his entire life, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's. One of the symptoms of Parkinson's can be severe depression. So pile that onto a lifelong struggle with depression.
Someone made a very astute comment the other day that I have also been thinking about.
Here it is.........
I
don't think that because he killed himself it means he didn't see the good in
life. One can be grateful and thankful and still be depressed. They are not
mutually exclusive. Depression is a a very serious illness that can be
devastating to live with.
I agree with the writer and it is again an illustration of how my perspective isn't always right. We have to keep an open mind. We are not as smart as we think we are. At least if our minds are open we can keep learning and growing.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
