A victim of self-destruction

Though people still don't know the actual cause of Amy Winehouse's death, many believe she fell into the abyss of promiscuity, profanity and drugs.

The 27-year-old's tragedy is more or less a reflection of a society that, as her last album title betrays, has gone Back to Black. This is largely because of the one-sidedness of "enlightenment" and a certain hedonism that has given rise to a weird sense of freedom and pleasure among human beings. People feel the need for spirituality but are unwilling to sacrifice anything for it. Spirituality has been reduced to little more than an individual affirming himself/herself.
