I'm not being shallow or righteouse, I'm being realistic. I have know people who where drug addicts, some died at thier own hands. I also had an alchoilc drug addicted mother as I grew up, who is now paying the price of what SHE did to her body, I have seen many many peolpe throw their lifes down the toliet, even when given every opertunite and help.
I myself have my own problems and have tried to kill myself 4 times but I would not want people giving my sympothy for something that was MY doing and my choice. Amy Winehouse CHOOSE to live her life the way she did, knowing full well it could kill her, so why should I feel sad about that?
As I also said, I do feel sorry for her family as it is them who has to pick up the pieces and has lost someone whom they loved.
I feel sorry for those in this life who have come to harm through no fault of thier own, such as those people murdered in Norway or the children dying in Africa through lack of basic food and water.
I don't drink or do drugs but I do smoke, I know it will most likely kill me one day and I don't want people feeling sorry for me when the time comes as it is my choice to smoke.
I've been to a school mates funarul when I was 15, he was 16. He went joy riding in a car stolen by one of his friends one night. A police chase ended in the car hitting another, Karl was throw out of the back window and cracked his scull open, he died at the sceen. Everyone is school was so upset (even peolpe who hated him) but I was not as it was his own fault, the whole school was made to go to his funarul. Life is what you make of it and there are consiqunses for your actions. Too many people are not willing to accept that and blame everyone and everything for thier mistakes.
