[QUOTE="BetaNoMore, post: 1241046, member: 9599"] I won't make light of your battles with depression and I work in a field where I see it first hand and how it ruins lives. It does seem like you're trying to be kind which is fine and all but here's a question I would ask you and other people mourning this woman's death: are you also mourning the lives and deaths of the thousands of mentally ill people who end up dying due to drug over-doses every year? What about the men who who take their lives at a rate much higher than women? If you are, that's admirable because you're more compassionate than I am but the sadness over this woman's death seems like it belongs to: 1. Fake news media telling us what we should think 2. White knighting - feeling bad only because this woman is "attractive." Your sentiment of cherishing life is commendable but why aren't you also cherishing the life of the many 40 year old heroin addicts who live at halfway houses and will most likely die in the next few weeks from an OD?
