RW's suicide is truly a tragic thing, don't get me wrong. But it is also a huge slap in the face to the many people who struggle every single day doing things they would rather not. Here's a guy who acheived world-wide fame, fortune and professional success. So he goes and throws it all away?

What kind of message is that? An obviously sicko workaholic genius who managed to develope the adoration of millions ultimately tells them their lives are worthless simply because he thought his was. Seems pretty arrogant if you ask me.

It's like these people think they are just too good for this world, that they suffer so much more than everybody else. Maybe they do, maybe the don't. But here's a guy who spent his entire life pulling a fast one over on everybody. Maybe the reality that his own life was just a superficial fast-paced joke finally over-took him.

Maybe the guilt of his own success coming from him doing whatever it was he did simply for his own survival was just too much. Maybe he felt like he was an imposter, unworthy of life.

I certainly admired him for his hard work, envied him for his intelligence and talents and most certainly disagreed with his leftist philosophies. But now, after him delivering the ultimate insult to his family, his friends, his fans and the world at large, his meanness finally showed. In retrospection I believe he did talk about it, made a joke or two or a thousand of it. But that wasn't enough for him. It was never enough.

May he rest in peace.
