Later he raised money for the loyalist side during the Spanish Civil War. In World War II, he organized an anti-submarine patrol off the coast of Cuba, where he was living, flew with Royal Air Force, and participated in the Normandy invasion. Ernest Hemingway is greatly admired because he defined the joy of life in terms of the deliberate decision to abandon cowardice for the sake of courage. In the process of cherishing every last minute of his bold struggle, he made the conscious determination that the only psychiatric treatment he was ever willing to tolerate was his Portable Corona No. 3. Despite his incredible courage, most people believe that Hemingway commited suicide.
People never fail to selectively fill in the blanks to close the book on every mystery.
A frivolous suicide verdict is frequently the source that satisfies every anxiety. If only the truth were that simple. Unfortunately, the truth is mired in politics, deception and cover up, and it is rarely unravelled because it is too frequently, too difficult to recognize. Indeed, as long as we are victims of limited perception instead of keen observers of everything there is to perceive, we rarely know the truth. Ernest Hemingway was a keen observer of the truth.
