Sympathy for her sorry state of affairs

Several news outlets have been reporting that Britney Spears penned a suicidal letter days before her standoff with police where she locked herself in her bathroom with her 1-year-old son. Spears' friend found the letter and said it "was very [sad]. It was filled with reasons why she shouldn't live, included lines from poems about death. She said in it she was sorry for never making her life what everyone else wanted. She mentioned how lonely and unfair life could be, how peaceful death seems and how your mind would finally be at ease...She went on about just wanting to just rest in peace." 


Frankly, I don't feel as if Britney should be an object of ridicule or disgust anymore. She needs help but it seems as if everyone around her is there only to cash in on her wealth. With everyone around her acting as parasites, I can see why she sees her life as being "lonely and unfair" and I can sympathize with her for feeling the way she does. 

It really does make one wonder about how callous people can be towards one another. Aside from the paparazzi, I really see no winners in this case. Britney is a mess, her children may very well end up growing up without their mother, even K-Fed would not win. He would most likely battle it out in court with Britney's estate or Britney's family for whatever is left if Britney is to commit suicide. Its a sad, pathetic situation all around.
