Hereunder, Paterson Joseph reads Shakespeare’s Sonnet 29: “When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes.”
What do you tell a friend who is suffering from depression: ‘It’s OK for you to NOT feel OK’. ‘You can continue to move forward in the face of your depression’. ‘I’m here for you, no matter what’. ‘Help is available’ and your story isn’t fully over’.
But sometimes such advice and encouragement is not enough, so it is important to get across the message that we all feel depressed during many stages in our life and in living. ‘You’re not alone’, can offer more comfort sometimes to those depressed, as in the realisation, that “the man with no shoes can often meet the man with no feet“.
William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 29, was written possibly sometime between 1593 and 1601, and speaks of a character, possibly himself, who is in a serious state of depression, stating that when he meets with misfortune “disgrace with fortune” he feels disgraced in front of other men, “men’s eyes“. He weeps alone “alone be weep” and cries out to heaven, latter who appears to be deaf to his same appeals “deaf heaven with my bootless cries”, and he is now left feeling much self-pity and regret, cursing his situation “and curse my fate”.
He wishes, “wishing me”, that he was a man who had more hope, “one more rich in hope”, and wishes to be like those, “featured like him”, who are handsome and appear to have more friends, “him with friends possessed”.
He further wishes that he had been provided with another man’s skills, “desiring this man’s art”, or with someone else’s opportunities “that man’s scope”, which he now has set his heart on, but doesn’t have mastery over, thus making him unhappier, “what I most enjoy contented least”.
In spite of hating himself, “thoughts myself almost despising”, he thinks of this love, “I think on thee” and those thoughts now lift his heart like the lark in the early morning, “lark at break of day”, latter who flies upward towards the sky, as if to sing at the very gates of heaven itself, “hymns at heaven’s gate”.
He says thoughts of his love somehow bring him a sort of emotional peace, which in turn he compares to wealth, “sweet love remembered such wealth brings”, and that he would not wish to exchange this peace with the material wealth of kings “scorn to change my state with kings”.
Shakespeare – Sonnet 29.
When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heav’n, with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man’s art, and that man’s scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven’s gate.
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

Sadly, we learn this morning that ‘Friends’ actor, Mr Matthew Perry, who found fame playing the character Chandler Bing, has died in a suspected accidental drowning in a jacuzzi at his home. Mr Bing was aged just 54 years old.
His death comes after he recently published his memoir, informing his fans of how he had overcome drink and drug addictions, which had almost brought about his death.
Mr Perry was discovered dead at his mansion on Saturday morning last, October 28th; his body discovered by his assistant. It is understood that no foul play was involved.
In all Mr Perry spent 10 seasons playing ‘Chandler’ on ‘Friends’, while struggling with a string of addictions. His memoir ‘Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing: A Candid, Darkly Funny Book’ exposed his struggles with addictions that became so severe that 5 years ago, at the age of 49 years, he suffered a gastrointestinal perforation, as a result of his extreme opiate usage. Same issue gave him then just a 2% chance of living after being placed in a coma for some weeks, following which he had to use a colostomy bag, while his colon healed.
At the peak of his addictions he was consuming about 55 Vicodin (Trade Name) tablets a day and weighed just 128 pounds. This combination medication is used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It contains an opioid pain reliever hydrocodone and a non-opioid pain reliever acetaminophen. Same is an antitussive (cough suppressant) and narcotic analgesic agent for the treatment of moderate to moderately severe pain. Hydrocodone works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain and since 2009, has been the second most frequently encountered opioid.
Mr Perry had stated “When I’m carrying weight, it’s alcohol; when I’m skinny, it’s pills; when I have a goatee, it’s a lot of pills.”
“Thank you for the years of laughter. In ár gcroíthe go deo”.
A two day awareness campaign, raising initiative on law against female genital mutilation is to taking place in Dublin airport this weekend.
An Garda Síochána and the Border Management Unit at Dublin airport will this weekend run ‘Operation Limelight’ to raise awareness around the practice of Female Genital Mutilation in Ireland, including the law and the very serious risks to the long-term health of women and girls, subjected to it.
Operation Limelight originated in the UK and similar initiatives have been implemented in other countries including Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States.
The two day initiative will run on today Friday October 27th and tomorrow Saturday October 28th. in an effort to reach high passenger numbers travelling for the bank holiday weekend.
Members of An Garda Síochána and the Border Management Unit will provide information to passengers travelling to and from Dublin Airport, which will explain what FGM is, outline the law in Ireland, and inform people what they can do if they are worried that a girl may be at risk of FGM.
FGM (also known as circumcision or cutting) involves removing all or part of a girl’s external genital organs including the area around the vagina and clitoris. FGM is performed for cultural and not medical reasons and is totally illegal in Ireland.
Under the Criminal Justice (Female Genital Mutilation) Act 2012 it is a criminal offence for a person to attempt or perform FGM in Ireland and it is a criminal offence for someone resident in Ireland to take a girl to another country to undergo FGM.
FGM is mostly carried out on girls between birth and 15 years of age and it is a form of child abuse which comes under child protection regulations in the Children First National Guidance for the Protection and Welfare of Children 2011.
It has also been recognised as a form of gender-based violence in the Third National Strategy on Domestic Sexual and Gender Based Violence and the current implementation plan for the Strategy contains actions focused on improving the supports and services available to those who have been subjected to FGM.
FGM violates a series of well-established human rights principles, including the principles of equality and non-discrimination on the basis of sex, the right to life when the procedure results in death, and the right to freedom from torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, as well as the rights of the child.
