Another light dimmed this week do to his disease.
When I heard the news of the tragisc loss of Philip Seymour Hoffman. I was deeply saddened for his friends , family and for everyone who are out there stuggling and suffering EVERYDAY.
What my first thought was upon hearing the news, is here is a man SEEMINGLY at the top of his game who had pretty much gained the status of being able to write his own ticket.
A brilliant career and future ahead of him, one would think. NOT THE CASE.
White, Black,Rich, Poor, Man ,Woman.
DIS EASE DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE.
We never know what BATTLES someone is fighting or DEMONS they are struggling with.
I was speaking with a friend last night and we were discussing the tragedy of it all.
She said, she did not think that only sad and depressed people become addicts.
I said that I totally agree with you, but by the time someone is battling a full fledged adiction, Happy and Carefree are taken out of the equation.
Becoming an addict depletes the person of the simple joys in life. Everything becomes a challenge.
We really need to be kind to one another. We have no idea what sort of private hell another person is living.
Life is challenging on the best of days. WE NEED TO BE MORE COMPASSIONATE.
Putting this into practice one/we should start immediately and our first subject should be OURSELVES.
SELF LOVE, SELF ACCEPTANCE is really difficult for many.
It is a practice that one/we really should learn to master which would allow us to serve ourselves and the world better.
It seems like every six months to one year we are losing some high profile celebrity to the addiction of his/her DIS EASE.
This month marks the 2 year anniversary of the loss of Whitney Houston.
Daily the world loses countless beautiful people who get lost in some sort of ADDICTION. They wind up struggling. Some for a very short period of time and some for a lifetime. Eventually if they do not seek help the outcome winds up be the same........DEATH.
I persoanlly know of 5 people last year lost to their ADDICTIONS.
ALL VERY SCARY.
To all those lost to their DIS EASE. May you finally be resting easy and at peace.
To everyone still struggling. I wish you all a successful road back to a drug/alcohol/sex/food/gambling/shopping or whatever other DIS EASE you may be suffering from FREE LIFE.
Remeber in life's darkest moments one can still find light......You just need to be will to look for it. WISHING LIGHT AND LOVE TO ALL.......MAY THE LIGHT SHINE BRIGHT.
R.I.P Philip Seymour Hofffman
Thank you for sharing your gifts with all of us. May you be bathed in light as you have embarked on a new journey.
