Russell Brand's column in "The Guardian" was entitled: "Robin Williams' divine madness will no longer disrupt the sadness of the world". Brand talks about how great Williams was and how it has affected the whole world.

Brand started off saying that Williams was exciting to him because he seemed to be sitting upon a fountain of comedy. He notes that Williams seems to just open a valve and the comedic ideas come rushing out as if he does not painstakingly putting any effort into it.

Brand adds that he was aware that Williams suffered from a mental illness as well as an addiction. He goes on defining Williams' brilliance as "an electric cable, that razzed and sparked with amoral" which could easily lead to destruction as much as it could lead to creativity.  Brand adds that Williams spoke about his situation candidly quoting Williams as he said that he often found himself on the brink of self-destruction.

He notes writing that, "I thought that this articulate acknowledgement amounted to a kind of vaccine against the return of such diseased thinking, which has proven to be hopelessly naive." He then proceeds to talk about the world itself as he discusses the personal struggles of Williams.

He asked if ending one's life was the condition of our era. He says that our fractured and unhappy planet is causing the inherently hilarious people to end their lives. He added that he read about suicide amongst middle-aged people and noted that back in 1999, the numbers increased.

He says that when someone gets to 63, he imagined that maturity would grant people the immunity to notions of suicide. He adds that hidden behind Williams' bear is his kindness and his awkwardness. He compares Williams to a fallen bird on a hard floor. He talked about the effects of drug use and that it does not exempt anyone. He pities Williams and writes that Williams endured this loneliness where he thought him being funny and how many people loved him did not matter at all.

He ends his column saying that all around us, people are suffering behind masks. He again cited Williams saying that the mask that Williams wore is not the only thing that people should take notice of because everyone around us wear masks and we should not think that they are less interesting. He asks the readers if they have time to tune in to Fox News and take notice of what is happening all over the world.

He then proceeds saying that he might watch Mrs. Doubtfire, Dead Poets Society or Good Will Hunting, all of which are famous films Williams starred in. He notes that today, everyone is fragile and delicate because of Williams' death but they should remember, as quoted from Williams, "You're only given one little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it."
