Because it makes you think about your own, and everyone around you's, mortality. It is a completely preventable death that really can strike anyone you know (you don't know what's going in anyone else's head). It hurts because Robin became both a murderer and a victim yesterday. It's very difficult to come to terms with somebody who spent his life bringing people happiness, choosing to kill someone, himself.

What nobody seems to have mentioned that he is almost as well known for his generosity. He gave of himself to everyone he met, even complete strangers, at a rate unsustainable by most others.
He once chartered a jet to fly cross-country to spend time with a girl suffering from terminal illness. Through Make-A-Wish, she was supposed to fly out to California for the meeting with Williams but fell so ill she couldn't make the trip. So he did, for her.
It isn't the shows he put on for audiences of thousands that pulls out the grief on social media. It's the light he brought to others where he made those encounters all about audiences of one person at a time.

His performances were enough to make a lasting memory on a lot of people, and I think his death has brought those moments back for all those people. It has for me. I get it's not a big deal for you, but why comment on everyone else's grief. Everyone has to process their feelings their own way, best to let them get on with it.

Stealing a fish tank? I sure he was buzzed when he did that.

The article was short. Nice that they didn't drone on and on.

... the air we breath is a drug that causes us to see the world in a diffused and controlled state, and drugs (like LSD, pot, and meth) allow us to see the world as it really is - and that's why they're illegal...

That doesn't sound like a good thing. Time's already speeding up as I get older; I don't want it to go any faster!

Laughing gas - now the UK has returned to the 18th century, but without the massive trade surplus, women in corsets or seditious Scots trying to disunite erm, no, we have that one too. Trade surplus and women in corsets only it is then...

Wait, let me go smoke a bong, then I'll come back to see what you really meant with this post.

Now I'm reminded of the movie "Liquid Sky". At least I think it was a movie, and not a documentaary.

I don't recall seeing it, but in reality maybe I have.

Perception-altering drugs do so in different ways; different drugs would feel as different from each other as they'd feel from reality. I'd also like to point out that pot is a tad lighter than LSD/Meth.
