Oh please. You're right on this, no two people's challenges and problems are alike so how do you know my life is not a world of shit much deeper and darker than Bourdain, absent the celebrity part? Yet, it's okay for you to imply I'm being an asshole and lack empathy? Fuck that. It's not bullshit to say he took the selfish way out, he himself would cop to that. And it's not bullshit to say he could have kept trying or tried harder to get past it. Exactly how do we recover from anything negative or debilitating without working at it?
Dude had options for help and he ignored them, that comes from people that knew him, not me.
So yeah, it's sad but I'll hold my tears for the person I have to visit every day I can in a hospital bed that is trying to hold on to this life and will eventually lose the battle.
