Give Robin Williams, just some words, just bits,and then wait for his creativity.. He was legendary and brilliant, and it is extremely difficult to even describe what his brain did.
What happens to different brains? Robin Williams had some serious mental issues, as brilliant artists often have. Suicide was listed as the cause, but later it was proven that he suffered from "Lewy Body Dementia", a form of Alzheimer's. Robin Williams did not know what his body was doing to the brain.
He must have been so frightened.
Time was not kind to him as parts of his talents eeked away. Our treatment options are minuscule and. we can all do is to recognize mental health struggles, and then be proactive in the recovery.
Oh, I had no idea about the Lewy Body Dementia. How sad.
ReplyDeleteIt answers some questions about mental dementia and how it affects people.
DeleteHe died by his own hand, but not by his own will.
ReplyDeleteHe must have suffered as this took over his body.
DeleteKindness never goes astray. Never ever.
ReplyDeleteMantra for the world; Be Kind.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a mantra.
DeleteWhat a thoughtful reminder at this time of year. Kindness never fails.
ReplyDeleteBeing kindness to someone is obedience in action. One can not regret being kind to someone, but they will regret being mean.
DeleteIn our recent Bible study, my son had this very issue on his heart. He is right that we should focus more prayer on those around us who may have problems we'll never see.
ReplyDeleteBeing in prayer for those around us, that takes an investment of time and devotion.
DeleteHe was such a talented man. He once made a woman laugh so long and hard that she was hospitalized. RIP
ReplyDeleteThat would be a strange reaction.
DeleteI'd never seen that JC interview before. RW is a legend.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interview. Two talented people on the same stage do not often happen.
DeleteThank you for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteHe was such a talented man.
All the best Jan
