I really don't like hearing news like this. It's very sad. Heath Ledger seems like he was an awesome individual. I've personally loved every movie I've seen with him in it (Broke Back Mountain included.) I hope this Zen/Taoist (Daoist) stuff helps someone the way it has helped me.

Here are the links I talked about.

  • if your after fame and money and all this stuff , your definately on the wrong PATH anyway but really, I dont know what his motivations were, but sounds like he definately had some drug issues. He was rather young, yes but so are the children in India who pick through the garbage heaps and sucumb to sickness and disease from thier extreme poverty,I' stick with the garbage pickers.Heath who?

  • :)

    He is/was no better or no worse than the garbage pickers in India.

    And I would disagree about fame and money being the "wrong" path, because that insinuates that there is a "right" path. :)

  • Alright, how about "Fame and money will bring chaos and ill fate."

  • Quotes like these are "rules of thumb" and aren't carved in stone.

  • you are a big fooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooool iiot jack ass

  • Oh? Explain. Wait... That's right. You can't. Why? Because...

    "you are a big fooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooool iiot jack ass"
