Friend, I think you missed the entire point of my post. My idea was that using the term "using the easy way out" is an insensitive term. Regardless of whether the person has money or fame, they don't deserve judgment from others who don't understand what they are truly going through.

That includes you. Whether Seau was a high paid athlete or not, he may have been dealing with depression and anxiety. It's not our place to throw phrases at him like "he took the easy way out." We are all, as humans, to say, "what a horrible loss of life."

I would hope that if you lost someone close to you to suicide that no one would use that term to describe them as taking the easy way out. Depression is an awful thing. It encompasses body and soul. None of us, whether we are sports fans or onlookers know what he was going through. Money has nothing to do with it. I hope you can look on as a human and pray for his family. Pray for his soul. He was, like the rest of us, a troubled human being.
