RE: It Has Been A Rough Few Days But Since When Is Life Easy?
Wow! You did a lot of living and dying young.
Now here you are. Glad you've found peace.
Can I disagree, kind of? Or not even disagree, but I think there's a caveat.
Firstly, I absolutely agree, we gotta and oughta be kind and understanding of mistakes. Help folks get through it, because they don't necessarily have the resources they need. That should always be the goal when someone fucks up. Help them do better.
But when it's a public figure, they have the resources. So you gotta be sure they're doing it on purpose. The only way you can help them be better is by joining your voice to a thousand others to hopefully break through the bubble of Fame.
There's a lot of power in fame. It is therefore an obligation of the famous to use their power wisely and responsibly, like Spiderman.

You should have seen the time I got ran over by my own car...
It's a tough one though. On the other side of the coin, some of these famous folks are right in the mix, encouraging this bullying and public shaming. These comedians constantly getting grilled... if they're performing, taking them seriously is much like being angry with the bad guy wrestler. Roseanne got slammed before she even got a chance to tell her side. So many artists get treated like politicians, while the politicians get away with all kinds of crap.
If you're not angry with the bad guy wrestler, then you're not having fun.
