Money can't buy happiness

Robin Williams died today- he took his own life. This is so sad to me. How does one get into a position that suicide feels like the only option?? I've been sad.... Really sad.... Lost my baby sad..... But leaving this earth was never even contemplated. So- what kind of sad does it take to kill oneself?

On the outside, this man had everything. Money, "friends", family, a great career, lots of people that looked up to him YET he was still sad. This is profound to me because so many people say "if I just had more money, life would be easier..."  He had money- lots of money- but it didn't matter. 

Money doesn't buy happiness. Suicide doesn't solve problems. Depression is a serious disease. Mr. Williams is gone but his family is now left behind to be sad themselves.
