What A Completely, Utterly Ruined Life Looks Like

The suicide letter composed by Bill Zeller, a 27-year-old programmer and Princeton grad, is absolutely heartbreaking and shows just how much damage can be done to a person who didn't deserve one iota of it. Normally I wouldn't link to something as personal as this story, but since it was Mr Zeller's wish that his story be as widely disseminated as possible, I'm willing to oblige.

Wow, what an incredible read. I read an article recently that suggested (as a theoretical) that based on historical patterns, when police arrest the perpetrators of child abuse they should also arrest the victims as unfortunately, and tragically, a staggering % of these children will later in life also be guilty of either child abuse or murder. A terrible cycle and it sounds like one of the reasons for which Bill chose to end his own life.
