I'll never ever forget you Natalie Cole. Your beautiful and soulful voice, your epitomy of womanhood, your love and grace just pouring out when you sang, and you indeed sang from the depths of your heart. Such a beautiful woman. Rest easy ms Natalie Cole. We all will indeed have our time and our turn. No life is without flaws however they may come, they will come. I celebrate the woman you were. And to me that woman was elegant and beautiful inside and out. Again, rest easy ms Natalie Cole.
@Mike Davis Sir, I tell you that "drug addiction and mental illness" absolutely doesn't work or happen as you may deem or think it to be. No sir, not at all. And before you make another assinine, unaware and hopefully unintentional comment or assumption such as you have, you task yourself to do, since it is that you posed your comment and question, do yourself a plus and research this which you seemingly have absolutely no knowledge about. Your insensitivity has saddened my heart, but it only shows how there continues to be false beliefs and narratives in our world about mental illness, predominantly because it's treated as a "negative, taboo and shameful" condition/desease. And for something as sad, as painful, as engulfing and as life altering as "drug addiction and mental illness" has indeed proven itself to be, I'll go to even include that you should ne ashamed of yourself to have allowed such words to come from your mouth. I'd pray that the insensitivity and judgementality expressed in the words from your mouth, not be words that someone who is stll trying to understand or live with "mental illness and drug addiction," be the words that push them to the point of no return, because words are power, words call things to happen, words can crush and stab, slice destroy... words can tip the scale back and forth and should be carefully selected to express opinions. Words yields response. Words can build one up or tear one down. Our mouth, that tongue, is the absolute smallest strongest member in our body. God bless us all.
@Mike Davis You sir continue to attempt to understand, question, evaluated and prescribe to what the person dealing with self destructive behavior, drug use, in a way that you've never been. You commented that you tried smoking marijuana once, you didn't like it and didn't do it again. Trying marijuana is completely irrelevant in comparison to, let's say "crack," the drug you selected. Trying crack for the first time can, will and does get one "hooked" on it. For how long depends on the person's will power to stop. Even if one identifies what was going on mentally or physically in their life that pained them so deeply to the point that they felt unable to deal with what that perceived "stressor" was in their life and just wanted to not think about it, or felt so helpless and unable to cope and wanting to not face, deal with and so many times confront the situation. Pain because of whatever which can and does rear it's ugly head in a multitudevof issues. It could be loss of a loved one, loss of finances, loss of jobs, loss of power, loss of control, feelings of worthlessness, lonliness, feelings of acceptance, feelings of cowardness, fear of being bullied, fear of being called out, feelings bbn of being less important, feelings of inadequacy. Just pick one. I will then. That child who can no longer take the constant bullying at school, no more of the deep pain it causes, the disappointment that they feel for being "less than, feeling that anyone is more important and significant than them, the feeling ofbeing aline, the fear of the dad telling him to suck it it, it's just a little makjng fun and all kids go through it and they turn out alright, stop acting luje a little girl...always whining. .... Well the problem was identified from the child letting parent know what was going on and was continuing with no resolution. Now, there's a child who feels there's no way out except to end their life, end their pain. Peer pressure, that's all right?? Just because one may be able to identify what the stressor is doesn't mean that they will be able to overcome it. And just because someone else may be going throuvh the same thing doesn't mean that the outcome woll be identical to someone else's outcomePpeoktake being bullied and feeling that it will go on forever and feeling that there's no help for them, no way out except suicide. Iijdeepat posed reality,
@Mike Davis I apologize, I hit send by mistake and that last line of jibberish and misspelling(sometimes my auto correct can't keep up with me tapping the keys,) but now, I'll continue. If it was as simple as what you said, why are there so many suicides, murderers perverts, and pedophilia especially with the young men and women, our children. More help with depression out here than there ever was. The drug addict self medicates because of real or what they may perceive to be real "stressors." Right there in the instance there's mental issues and drug abuse or violent behavior. People use what's available to help ease the hurt and pain. Alcohol, drugs or both. The perceived stressor, mental in it's roots and nature,has resulted in the need to not address because it's too painful, so they self medicate with drugs and or alcohol. Hand in hand. Whatever dulls the pain, whatever it may be, even suicide. You cannot say something that may be your "casual" way that you've said. Even sometimes a person may live in denial for a lifetime, depending on what they perceive that stressor to be, afraid to be exposed for fear of what may happen. Some people wanting attention, wanting to be viewed as "poor and pitiful." Just an excuse to take drugs and drink alcohol. That's a mental issue that the person uses to feel better about life by drugging and drinking. Drugs and alcohol to validate their violent behavior for example. Loss of a loved one, a child or spouse. Too much pain and feeling lost, not wanting to go on living the hurt is so deep. Because of the reality of this pain is deep in their mind and heart, they choose not to go on and inflict unimaginable pain not only to themselves, but others too and choose to not live any longer. My point like I said, is it in no ways as simple as you made it. "Identify, address, get help and heal. It doesnt work that way. You have to be in someone's mind to speak as such. These very things can take a lifetime to heal and everyone's case is different. Maybe that would work your way for you, but it doesn't have to be the same for the next person. Yes, be hapoy to be able to overcome the "stressors" that life deals to us, sometimes because of our own disastrous end, but that isn't for the majority of situations. One person may not be as strong as the next. Another may not be able to get to the help they need in time to save their life. Maybe there's abuse, violence physically and fear that prevents the abused from getting help. Physical abuse is from a mental problem. Just another example. It doesn't have to be drugs and alcohol someone's hooked on, it can be becoming a abuser, a murderer or a danger hooked on controlling. The entire scope is just too huge to put under one or two vices. Destructive behavior shows itself in more than one or two ways, but the identical constant is indeed "mental, and emotionally rooted." We are emotional innately. We use our knowledge or lack of same to mold and make our decisions, that's the only way that life works. Thoughts yeilds actions, be they positive or negative. The idea or thought comes from our minds(our mentality.) If it was as simple and plainly to just do this and that, I'd venture to say that our world wouldn't be in the sad shape that it is. You cannot even compare what should be to what is. Ohhh, how we would wish it could be. You don't know what condition is going on behind someone's closed doors.You can think you know all that you want, but you don't know everyone's circumstances to the point that you can speak so very "flippantly and loose." I find it to be extremely self serving, ill informative, judgemental and dangerous. And as I said, I'd hope and pray that the next person that may read what you commented initially has enough strength to know that they're trying as best as they can right now with what they have available to them, even if it's just family and couseling and that hopefully they don't slip back into whatever their "darkness" was. That's the reality and what it definitely isn't, is being on the outside looking in and spewing untruths based off of what you deem to be the "solve and heal all" method and that's all a person has to do.....yada yada yada. Stop it, words are powerful and may lead someone who is sick and afraid to feel of no more use to carry on living because your words told them what they weren't doing and all that they have to do to get along with "healing." Your very "snug suggestion" can be the one for that person that pushes them over. Words/our tongue can decide "life or death," and we need to be even more careful and more caring especially today with sooo much going on. God bless us all.
