[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 285332"] Several thoughts struck me about this death...and I think I'm still thinking about it all. One is that both my son and I were fans of Michael Jackson's music and felt horrible when we heard that he had died. However, my son and I are 25 years apart in age! In my book, that's amazing! Usually my son is barely aware of entertainers I like, and I am not overly fond of the ones he likes. Also, although he was a brilliant entertainer, his social capacity was deeply diminished. One can't help but wonder if it played at least some role in his early death. How many people just "used" him? How many people loved him unconditionally? Who could he really trust? I have my suspcisions that not only did he suffer from deep psychological problems, but also several medical ones. (by the way, Anorexia is basically a sign of self hatred). And certainly, there is a possibility of drug abuse/overdose. He was such a brilliant entertainer, yet so troubled personally and in such great need of good care medically and psychologically. One wonders if those close to him were not doing their best to help him or if he just wasn't willing to take the time to explore a better/healthier way of living. It is all very tragic. [/QUOTE]
