Have some Compassion for your fellow humans. People deal with you and all Your imperfections. Have been since you were crying & wetting your training pants at the family diner.
Its sad to see a human fail to the point of meeting their end.
Its arguable that the very reason why such people are so talented, is their inner torment.
Michael Jackson was forced as a child to practice over and over again for hours, after school. No interaction with other kids, no getting to be a kid. The results? His singing and dancing were on a level not many could touch.... but inside, he was a twisted mess.
I dont know Amys troubles... but Obviously, she had them. Maybe her dad or someone else molested her as a child.
Its easy to sit on the sidelines and point and say "Id never do that. Id never allow that to happen. Id never feel that way."..etc. But you have never walked a day in their shoes, let alone a decades worth...
All the money in the world cant buy lasting Happiness. Cant mend a broken heart, nor a broken soul. Honestly Realize this, and then start working on Yourself, to be a better, stronger, person.
Dont be jealous of her. Shes never got to really enjoy life.
(Jealousy is self poison)
Dont get so caught up in wishing you were somewhere else, doing something else, living some other life. Learn to enjoy and appreciate what you have now, where you are now. Its only then, will you ever really start to understand true peace and happiness.
It does not mean you have to settle for something. But to at least be content. If you really want extreme changes, know you will have to put forth extreme efforts.

Was this aimed at me or Howard? Because my family never owned a diner.

It's sad that she couldn't get herself clean, but here's an excerpt from another website that I have a hard time disagreeing with:
She had every chance in the world to get clean, to get off drugs, to save herself. She chose not too. People begged her. She ignored them. This wasn’t some poor girl with no options. She had every option. She had access to the best care in the world. This isn’t someone who made a mistake or two or twenty. She was an addict and she thought it was cute. She bragged about it in her biggest hit. If she didn’t give a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- about her life why should I?

Yeah, you think she would know, know, know.

Re-read my post.
The whole problem IS that show didnt care enough about her life. The question is Why? No matter how much people tried to help, it didnt matter. Doesnt that seem odd to you?
If for example, she was sexually abused as a child... that event could shatter her entire personality. Which is exactly the kind of thing that keeps them from wanting to feel, feeling normal, feeling trustworthy, and much more. The addictions and damages done, compound things even worse.
There are a lot of people who dont want to go to rehab. Part of it is the time that it takes. Part is the prison like setting. Part is that they cant be with their loved ones (+ intimacy), and part of it is being scared out of their minds about whats going to take place.
Its obvious that a lot of these people are drowning in substances to Avoid confronting deep rooted Pain. Its very difficult to to tell someone that in order to make them better, they first have to dig out the bullet in their leg, without anything given to dull the pain.
If it were so easy to help and cure addiction, then you wouldnt see half of the related incidents plastered all over the news. People have the hardest time changing the simplest personal habits, and dont like to face the truths... and thats people who are not deeply wounded or truly addicted.
If you dont have compassion for your fellow man or woman, why should anyone care about you, at the time you need people the most?
I think thats a huge factor in the kinds of selfish responses we have here. People who are loners, self centered, dont have others to help them out... tend to feel like everyone should be as strong as them... and that there is simply no excuses, mercy, or compassion... because there was/is none given to them.
Jealousy of love and support given from others?
Btw - If you desire more love and support in your lives, you have to give it out to others. By having a compassion-less black and white attitude towards others, theres no way you are going to get love and support in your life.
As said, Jealousy is a self destruction/poison.
