Amy Winehouse passed away. Found dead in her London apartment. Somewhat pulled a Heath Ledger I suppose? I refuse to read up on what happened and useless investigations to follow. All that matters is that she’s no more. Neither is Heath Ledger.
What hurts is, when Heath Ledger passed away in a similar fashion, there were more people in tears than hurling abuses for being troubled.
a) Is she being assaulted post death because she was a woman? In which case, shame on the world. With a capital S. Go curl up and die.
b) Do we discriminate against people who are troubled? In which case we need to curl up and die quicker than in case a)
Shame on us if we have no consideration or empathy for a person who has issues in their life. What guarantees are we born with that our life will be a perfect one? What right does anything that we have had by default give us that we can abuse people who do not have that luxury? This is worse than the rich and poor race. It is no surprise that someone needing help, refused it. So many of our so called “normal” people refuse to accept their problems and simply resort to shift the blame, hurling crap at whoever is close by. Happens all the time. Life throws a lot of mess at you. C’est La Vie. You deal with it or you don’t. That is personal and if you are unable to, it is unfortunate yet does not give anyone the right to look down their nose at you or judge you. We don’t get judged for catching a cold now do we?
She was a beautiful, strong yet sensitive woman. Lived her life with her head up high and died the same way. When I see Amy Winehouse I only see a go-getter. No one could convince her to do anything except herself. That’s a strong woman. Of course the world hates her. It hates all strong women.
Amy Winehouse was brilliant ... Thanks for this post
