Owen Wilson, Get Better

As has been widely reported over the last 24 hours, it seems actor Owen Wilson tried to take his life yesterday. SWC wishes him well and has our prayers for better days ahead.

As we state elsewhere on this site, we’re not about bashing celebrities (with some exceptions). We’re about pointing out how inane and insane it is to think they’re a superior brand of human. And as we say here:

Consider it a wake-up call. A therapeutic cuff in the back of the head for the ridiculous and pathetic masses who assume famous people are smarter, wiser, happier or in any way more special than the rest of us. They’re not.

 There is no starker reminder of this truth than when one of our cultures “gods”—one who has everything to which the worshiping masses aspire—sees no point in living any longer.
