So I am not much for celebrity but I have watched his shows for a long time, easily over a decade.
I amazed by one thing, not his suicide but that his mass of fan base had no idea he wasn't living a life to be envied.
How closed must one be to their own heart that they couldn't see the pain he carried with him.
I remember in the first few episodes I saw the wounds were so close to the surface that you could tell he was barely keeping it together.
Over the years he even made mention of his self loathing but those sleeping to their own heart didn't want to see.
I really don't know why but this illustrates so well for me that we are as a species mistaking the riches of the material :
wealth, beauty, achievement, prestige, ... for the riches of the soul. I am not saying Anthony was, but the world in general.
We hurt so we cover it up with stuff, busyness, things that justify the outside. The wounds remain.
Sending my intention so he will not carry those wounds any further, rest in peace.
