Death and the Heartless

[Boo]

[quote name='fire_fly52']i think what they called you heartless for is you voice your oppion like that in their time of need. they were just looking for someone to be sad with.[/quote][size=1]lol.[/size]
[quote name='DaSilva][font=courier']That would be a general conversation. None of this has happened recently. Just events over time have caused me to question the way I reason. I apologize for not being clear at the beginning of my post.[/font][/quote][size=1]He has never informed us about how he would actually react on such a situation, but I'm glad that he has at least taken care of the idea that he would just tell them "I don't care" in their face.[/size]

[SIZE=2]As I have said before, I didn't say that to anyone in their time of need. I didn't say that to anybody at all. I just discussed that matter with my friends just like I have discussed it on this board[/SIZE].[/FONT]

[SIZE=2][FONT=Courier New]Its happened before, and it doesn't really bother me, because I've accepted death as it really is. Just another thing that happens.[/FONT][/SIZE]

[color=crimson]How common or widespread a tragedy is does not make it any less tragic lol. "Oh, well, humans all die anyway" does not ease emotional suffering from the bereaved, those that valued them as important parts of their lives. The eventual breakdown of a human body brought on by accidents, time or otherwise is inevitable for all of us but there is more to death than just the body dying. A person is lost. An existence that was as vibrant as you are ceases to be, an existence that was loved by others.

You don't have to remorse the myriads of other people dying or suffering across the planet though there's nothing wrong with trying to. A bit of an emotional reaction to an acquaintance or friend having someone close to them die is appropriate. [/color]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Century Gothic]Just another thing that happens? Ah... that's just silly my friend. I find it hard to believe that anybody can really have that sort of opinion about death. Perhaps you've went through some rough losses in your life and this is your way of dealing with them?

To me, death is a very sad thing. The church i was raised in has a very optimistic view of death, because they believe in the afterlife, in heaven. They believe once you die you can be closer to god and you'll get to be with everybody else that has died. So you know ol' Scruffy, the family dog, that died when you were only seven? Yep, he's there! Actually, i don't know what they think about animals that die, but you get the idea. Me on the other hand, i see it more as...never getting to see that person again, or if there is an afterlife, not getting to see that person for a very long undefinite amount of time. I already find it hard enough to be away from the people i love, but if i lost all contact with any one of them for the rest of my life i'd be very sad.

As for caring about other people that have experienced these losses, yes i sympathise with them. My heart goes out to those that have lost ones they love. My heart goes out to anybody that is suffering. Unfortunately, or fortunately, it takes more than just sympathy for me to actually make an attempt to help anybody in pain. I think...maybe the main reason i sympathise with them is because i always try to put myself in their positions. Life is hard enough as it is, lord knows sometimes we just need somebody to care.
