I would think anything I have to say about Robin Williams will most likely be unoriginal but I've never let that stop me from opening my mouth or in this case, my keyboard.
The love felt by the world for him has been an amazing thing to observe. In spite of how he died and the obvious depression he suffered from, people have seen past it, and have love him regardless.
Can you imagine if we could do the same for the mentally challenged adult we see in the grocery store? How about the homeless person outside a football stadium that you pass on the way into a game?
My usual reaction in these cases is to avoid eye contact and keep moving. Let it be someone else's problem. Don't get involved. I have enough in my own life to deal with.
No, this doesn't make me a bad person or mean that I don't care. It just means that I'm human. I'm not always at my best.
I have no words of wisdom or a way to motivate myself or anyone else.
What I do have, even if it's just for a moment, is gratitude in my heart that I could see past myself and love someone like Robin Williams who in end was just like me......Human
