It's sad. I mean, is it normal? To be sad that someone has died when you never really knew them. You only, to break it down, knew the roles they played, the characters they took on, the feelings and emotions of someone, in some cases, entirely different to themselves. So you didn't really know THEM.
What I mean is...Is it silly? Stupid? Because it could be entirely normal to be sad that someone has died, even when you didn't know them, but still classified as silly.
Or is calling it silly just humans increasingly losing their humanity? Because every life should mean something?
I don't even know...
The universe has to move forward. Pain and loss, they define us as much as happiness or love. Whether it's a world, or a relationship... Everything has its time. And everything ends.

Yeah, nowadays a lot of people consider it weak to weep for another, and stupid if you don't know them. But so what if you don't know them, these people have families, they had good and bad days, they made people smile, they made people laugh.
ReplyDeleteI think, like, general-public-wise, that being anyone-besides-people-close-like-whoa, I wouldn't let others see me in any kind of position like that. I mean, 'why should the world be overwise', you know?
So you never know, people might be terribly sad, and they just don't show it.
I've never heard anyone call it silly, though.
...
I swear that made complete sense in my head.
...I THINK I understood that, and if I did, I agree. XD
ReplyDeleteI understood and agree with what Mace said.
ReplyDeleteI was incredibly sad when I heard the news Elizabeth Sladen had died. She's the first actor I ever looked up to that has passed on in my lifetime, and it hurts terribly.
Rest in peace, Elizabeth Sladen, welcome to the stars. xx
