I thought it was pretty lame for people to use Kurt’s death as a talking point in their self-serving arguments about the supposed moral superiority of their own choices in life. My own “cautionary tale” is: Don’t do heroin. Don’t become a fucking junkie. And if you are a junkie, do whatever it takes to stop. But even the junkie factor isn’t dispositive. There are mysteries of the mind and spirit. With the possible exception of saints, human beings simply aren’t designed to understand everything about life and death.
