(Philip
Seymour Hoffman)
What does Mr. Hoffman leave us recovering
folk? (Actor, director, producer…)
A widely admired American!
What can we learn from the scratchy turn of events, which took
place in his life, at the very end…?
His early life, and his recovering life and his death and relapse!
Just this:
For a drunk, and drug addict, don’t look for a way back, as if to
use or drink in moderation…
There is no such passage!
Don’t torture yourself, as Mr. Hoffman did, by self-imposed
punishment on a Broadway Play, such as it was, in: “Death of a Salesmen”…
Which appears apparent now to fit in place!
Running backwards under stress to what he knew best, to lower his
pain!
Had he walked away, having twenty-three years of sobriety—he may
have very well lived to have counted his twenty-forth, temperance date!
But instead he died in relapse, of: combined drug intoxication,
and heroin overdose!
At forty-six, he found his way back to the abyss!...
And for all of this he can teach us who have felt Satan’s Curse:
there is no fix, for trying to find a way back to normal usage; that is to say,
usage in moderation!
Malediction
The Devil closes the door, always softly, as he departs—; and in
most cases you don’t feel his naked hand on your shoulder—
As he does, he whispers: “No need to fear me…”
Then, in an even more hushed tone, “Let my sin be upon all men,”
are
His last maledict words; thus, this, this is what he leaves us
with:
This cursed creature of the abyss!
