While we here think it is selfish, I bet you every single person who seeks this end believes it is a self-less act. They feel like failures, useless, burdens and on and on and on. They just feel their loved ones and the world are better off without them and they are doing "us" a favor by just checking out.....I never watched the man, but understand the respect and admiration he appeared to garner from many.....the taking of one's own life, as I've said before, is the ultimate selfish act....it leaves behind grief and heartache for all who cared for him....whatever drove him to commit such a final action is a moot point, and one of morbid curiosity....if there is such a thing as a soul, I hope it has found some type of peace.....
....not disputing that...I know from personal experience that’s how it’s justified....it’s an ugly place to inhabit....
That's right. I preferred Zimmerman's bizarre foods. He's fat, bald, and silly looking! Bourdain was confident, worldly, and at 61 still handsome. He had an eleven year old daughter and his mother is still alive. Godspeed to him, but he was, at the end, stupid & selfish.
