Is there something in the water this week? Seems like I’m finding crazy all over the place. As such, I find the only appropriate response is to share some sad news and scoff at it in a completely distasteful way. You’re all down with that, right?

Beware of shiny, happy people with inspirational messages. You know the type. The random acts of kindness crowd. Morally superior and not afraid to tell you about it. Seems we run into this sort of thing everywhere: in person, online, at work, at play.

In Pursuit of Happiness, radio show hosts John Littig and Lynne Rosen were found dead in their apartment on Monday in what appears to have been a double suicide. Renowned psychotherapist (Rosen) and teacher (Littig), they also founded the Why Not Now life coaching business:

Founded by Lynne Rosen and John Littig, Why Not Now provides focused life coaching designed to help foster and encourage your inner strengths, identify hidden and untapped resources, and put you confidently on the path to designing the life you’ve always wanted to live.

“It’s a funny thing about life: if you refuse to accept anything but the very best, you very often get it”
W. Somerset Maugham

 

You only live once, right?

I suppose it’s clear they didn’t find happiness in telling others how to find happiness. A suicide note was left behind, however as this is an ongoing investigation police have not disclosed the contents. Cause of death was suffocation in plastic bags while breathing in helium. I can only imagine what their last conversation must’ve been like.
