As a final irony Williams did this song at the Oscars because the woman who sang it in the South Park movie committed suicide about 3 weeks earlier.

Robin Williams Quote of the Day:

“I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is ending up with people who make you feel all alone.”

What argument? You said suicide is selfish. I am asking why you are asking an irrational person to be unselfish. How hard is that to answer?

Jim, here's the problem with what you're saying. You seem to think that I'm trying to convince a mentally ill person that committing suicide is a selfish act to keep them from killing themselves…I'm not trying to convince them. Whether they think it is selfish or not is irrelevant.

The reason it's irrelevant is because as any healthy (mentally at least) person knows, suicide is selfish. That's all I'm saying. I certainly wouldn't tell somebody battling depression that I think it's selfish because of the logic reasons that we've talked about, but that doesn't mean that it isn't selfish.

Understand?

Understand?

Is suicide still selfish if the person has no friends or family at all?

Is it selfish if the suicidal persons friends and family wish he wasn't in thier lives?

Just curious

Fwiw I'm sorry if my feelings about suicide upset you Frank. Not my intention

You didn't upset me. I was being frank about it is all.

Personally, I think so, although I can understand why others might not.

I view life as a gift…who are we to take that away? There is always something positive you can do for somebody, always. Whether that is reciprocated or not is irrelevant, IMO.

Quite the selfish viewpoint wanting others you don't know to give to you or humanity.

Don't just preach it.
