It's a fair point. My words were "l can’t help but lament", and are meant as personal rather than critical. The suicide in Dead Poets Society is so profoundly tragic. The loss is so immense...the life of Neil, and to those who loved him...those who not only wanted him to stand true to hhimself, but wanted to stand with him. I do wish Williams could of held on to that message. I understand that's not how depression works. I understand it's not realistic for him to have thought that way...and I'm not saying he SHOULD have thought this way, or looking to find fault. But I wish...oh do I wish...that the lessons taught by fictional movies could help keep us from tragic moments like this one.Kurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12359553690204479581noreply@blogger.com
