Henry Rollins' essay about suicide published on LA Weekly heavily criticized suicidal people and even went as far as lambasting Robin Williams.

The world went abuzz upon finding out that actor Robin Williams, 63, had taken his own life. While most people expressed sadness for the tragedy and concern for suicidal people, Henry Rollins' essay about suicide hopped on a different boat or in his words: "step off the train."

"I am sure some will strongly disagree with what I'm about to say," Henry Rollins wrote. "And I also understand that his personal struggles were quite real. I can't argue with that."

According to a report on Rolling Stone magazine, Henry Rollins' essay about suicide, a 997-word commentary, shares the former Black Flag frontman's view of how killing oneself is a selfish act.

While Rollins regarded Robin Williams as a "good man," he went as far as questioning how the latter could supposedly inflict immeasurable sadness to his children.

"How in the hell could you possibly do that to your children? I don't care how well adjusted your kid might be - choosing to kill yourself, rather than to be there for that child, is every shade of awful, traumatic and confusing. I think as soon as you have children, you waive your right to take your own life. No matter what mistakes you make in life, it should be your utmost goal not to traumatize your kids. So, you don't kill yourself," said a portion of Henry Rollins' essay about suicide.

He also recalled his experience living with a housemate who was depressive and had suicidal inclinations.

"Many years ago, I lived in Silver Lake with a housemate who suffered from severe bouts of depression. When she wasn't in her small bedroom with the lights off, crying for hours, she was bright and hilarious...Years after the last time I saw her, I guess she could no longer keep up the battle and killed herself."

While personally knowing someone who committed suicide, Henry Rollins said he regard suicidal people "with a bit of [disdain]."

"I no longer take this person seriously. I may be able to appreciate what he or she did artistically but it's impossible to feel bad for them. Their life wasn't cut short - it was purposely abandoned. It's hard to feel bad when the person did what they wanted to. It sucks they are gone, of course, but it's the decision they made. I have to respect it and move on."

He concluded the piece by citing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's data which states that there are 40,000 cases of suicide in America yearly, and said that those 40,000 people "blew it."
