Singer Amy Winehouse is dead.

Sad news today hearing all the horrible things going on in Norway and then news comes in that the singer Amy Winehouse is dead.

It didn't sound shocking giving that she was struggling with addiction to drugs and alcohol and to be honest it looked like her addictions were going to cause her to end like this. I found it really sad although I personally am not a fun of her works but rather that a really talented young lady should loose her life at such a young age. It is easy to blame her for messing up her carrier and the opportunities she had in life and her carrier but I think we should look deeper at the story and learn some lessons from it.

It is sad that our society could watch as she destroyed herself. It is true that she has herself to blame for her downward spiral but it is as a result of the society. There are millions like her who go unnoticed and die from such abuse or even worse get others to join in this form of self destruction. She is not the first and won’t be the last if society doesn’t play an active role in preventing youngsters from becoming drug addicts.

It’s sad to see someone slowly destroy themselves and those around them to drug addiction.

Today we lost someone who could have been a force for good but we just watched as she destroyed herself. Sad and sad indeed.
