Yes, I mean it just like it sounds. Whitney Houston died from what looks like accidental drowning due to drugs. She got high, took a bath and die. While many are saying this is some big tragedy I can't help but think about the state of the world, the homeless, the sick people dying due to lack of health care and proper treatment, starving families that can't keep up with the rising cost of food....
You see, what happened to her was self-inflicted. She had money, fame and fortune and decided to do drugs and guess where that often leads? A life of struggling and often an early death. This isn't shocking, it isn't surprising, it's the natural course of events with the choices she made.
Some of you might say that she was an addict, and that is a big problem that she can't really be blamed for. I don't believe that this is the case, but aside from this there is an obvious difference from Whitney Houston and the rest of us. She had the financial resources to go to rehabilitation while most of us do not. Bottom line is, she had choices and made all the wrong one.
What about you, struggling to get your rent in on time and have some food for your family every day. What about you strapped with debt, making too little or unable to find work at all, unable to save for the future? See, the state of our nation is the real tragedy not the fact that a spoiled celebrity drowned due to their own weakness.
