Life is so ironic. You make people happy when you yourself is not. You inspire and encourage them but when you are on your own, you are discouraged. So all this time you are wearing a mask.

Robin Williams has been my favorite Hollywood actor ever since I watched the movie Jumanji. Before, I am not really a fan of Hollywood films but whenever I saw that he is part of the movie I easily got interested because I knew he would really make me laugh or cry. His projection on the screen would make you think that he could be a cool and a great friend.



I came to wrote a blog about him because it also breaks my heart to know that he is already dead. Well, I knew all of us will die. What makes me even more sad about his death is the reason why he died. Which makes me ask myself also, what if I die, what will be the reason of my sudden death? Kinda creepy to ask but let's be open-minded about it, we will all face death.

Well some will say that the possible reason for your death is inevitable, but how about you die because of health problems? It has something to do with the way you live and you took care of yourself while you are still living; or maybe accidents? Well this is only my conviction, I believe in the power of prayer so if you ask God to give you a long life, He will give it to you.

Allegedly, some reports says that Robin Williams committed suicide via asphyxiation.Asphyxiation means a lack of oxygen or excess carbon dioxide in the body that results in unconsciousness and often death and is usually caused by interruption of breathing or inadequate oxygen supply.

Williams, at a first glance you'll never believed that suicide will ever crossed his mind. I mean, he has everything; fame, fans, successful career, he has his family and probably he has more than enough money to enjoy  besides it is everything he worked hard for.

I will not ask or define here what is suicide. I know everyone has their own opinion about it and we are all familiar how some people committed to do such act. You know murdering oneself. For Christians who believe in divine morality it is a sin or detestable to God to take your life away because it's not yours, you did not create yourself or even produce one molecule or atom in your body; you don't even know the numbers of you hairs or even the number of pores in your skin, which means there is someone behind everything that we have; you have a master who will decide when to fix you or to destroy you. Well, you are not a robot or a gadget to self-destruct.

For some people suicide is negative but for some it is about being kind to others not wanting them to endure with you the burdens they have in life so they just want to put an end to it by killing themselves.

But where does suicide really coming from? For me suicide exists for those who don't have anymore a reason to live. It is a product of anguish and complete loneliness and emptiness of the heart. Well, emptiness, after possessing everything that you want in life, why do you still end up empty at the end of the day?

Even the anatomy of our heart is telling us that we are prone to emptiness.


I know you have been hearing this and if you are not really a believer, you'll get tired and sick of it but it is true, our heart is designed to feel empty that no fame, honor, wealth, a person , a pet, a lover, or anything could fill this emptiness that we have except GOD. Famous writer John Mason said that "If God is All You Have Then He Is All You Need." When everything and everyone leaves us including happiness, strength and courage, remember that God is everywhere. He is the one Who is always there. Joshua 1: 5 says God will never leave us nor forsake us.

Robin Williams' life will always inspire us, he has given us precious childhood memories through his movies. His effective acting skills on cam will always remind us how he made us laugh and cry. The joyful tone of his voice will always teach us how good God is for giving him such an amazing talent.

Because I'm also a fan, I wrote this blog to share that there is something to learn from his death. Somehow, it did cross my mind that I hope I was there before he committed suicide( not yet proven) and tell him that  I know he is not perfect but he did an amazing job by making us happy by watching his movies. But I know it won't happen and the least that I could do is to pray for him and his family.

I realized that there are still many famous people that we are a fan of that are still alive; and we believed that they inspired us in many ways and  maybe they also have a need just like Robin Williams. 
 The only possible way that we could show or love to them is to pray for them.

Thanks for reading.
