Thanks for asking me to be your voice of reason. Although I would suggest that you take the gag off the one in your head as you will find life much
more interesting when you can actually think for yourself... eh, but that's just me anyway. Anyway, I am honored
The other two things you listed were
a) "please address the radical difference between the verbal skill of Kenny Johannemann, the intelligence he displayed and the childlike suicide
note, if you would please."
b) "and while you're at it, explain why someone who had an offer of residence would write: "The reason I killed myself was 'cause I was getting
evicted and can't handle homelessness."
To address point 'a' first, it is not uncommon for people to hide their truest most raw (aka childlike) feelings from the world. I doubt if he was
feeling such despair to the point he was going to take his life that he was completely in his right mind anyway. Point A proves nothing. Here, why
don't you start at the following link, RESEARCH FOR YOURSELF even beyond the link and you will see that point A is no reason for jumping to
conclusions.
psychological trauma
Since I am almost sure you will ignore what I am giving you because it doesn't fit the view you so desperately clinge to, let me draw your attention
specifically to the following (from the link):
Some traumatized people may feel permanently damaged when trauma symptoms don't go away and they don't believe their situation will improve.
This can lead to feelings of despair, loss of self-esteem, and frequently depression. If important aspects of the person's self and world
understanding have been violated, the person may call their own identity into question.
Now I highly encourage you to do some studying yourself before throwing out this non proof out as proof again.
And on to your point B:
errrr, that one would pretty much be covered in my first post as well and again in the above.
YOu have no proof of anything, only assumptions that are drawn from a distorted view... those who starred you are just as distorted in their views.
Jumping to conclusions based on faulty assumptions really shouldn't be quite the habit as it APPEARS (ha! looky that! a non conclusive term) is the
case with you.
You have not been through what this man went through, therefore you are looking at the "evidence" in the light of a different mind frame. Your
dilusions are self induced whereas his dilusions were brought on by an extremely traumatic event.
