post sad story from history. I will start with one:
> Donald Crowhurst
>In 1968, Sunday Times arragend a "sail around the world competion" where the fastet one would get 5k pound.
> Crowhurst enter the race.
> He had promised to buy the boat from his sponsor after the race, but if he didn't win, would lead to his company to go bust and his family would be out of a home.
> after only a month, does Crowhurst understandthat he can't win. So he starts to make false logs to pretend that he is still in the game and that he has made farther then he did.
> He starts to lose his mind over all his lies and loneliness.
> after has gone radio silence for a few months and resting, did he enter the race again, knowing that he could win now.
> But if he won, would the tamper with his sea log come to light and he would become known as a cheater.
> He tries to think of a way to lose with his honor still intact, but in combination with his isolation and guilt over his lies, is his madness starting to take over.
> He writes an insane 25k long "message" to the world, where he say that our physical existent is worthless.
> His boat is found on the 10th of July 1969. No sign of him.
> The winner give the 5k to his widow and four kids.
