My sister's orchestra teacher died today from breast cancer.

This is my sister's* first real experiance with someone close dying, and she's pretty shaken up over it. I find there is nothing more selfish than crying because you miss a person. Rediculous. If you're going to weep, do it for the family they left behind. Weep for the others weeping selfishly.

Love for people close to you can make you break down, bro.

I suppose you're right, but I wouldn't know. I've never loved anyone. At least I assume I haven't.

Well, that depends on how you define love doesn't it?

Indeed. If you define it as a powerful affection, then no.

In either case, the expresso I had this morning has caught up with me and I am le tired.

I don't agree that crying over someone lost is selfish. If you are close to that person. be it love or whatever reason, why can't you be heartbroken over this loss? I've lost quite a few people around me in the 31 years I'm walking around on this planet, and these deaths all got te me, wether I was crying or not.

I suppose if I find being heartbroken over the loss of someone, then I must assume that love is like a drug. You have withdrawals when the drug is removed.

I've found that many times when people die they aren't sad for the person. The person will believe they've gone to heaven, or if they're atheist will believe they have ceased to exist. Both of these things are not necessarily bad for the person who died, so the only thing I can conclude is people cry for loved ones for selfish reasons.

Selfishness is human. So really, I'd rather feel selfish and human than apathetic.

ObbiQuiet, I don't know how old you are, but -not to bash or anything- you'll get your share of grief in life. Allthough dieing doesn't have to be bad for the person who did (my grandfather died just before christmas two years ago due to lung-cancer, we where glad he didn't have to suffer anymore) we all where saddened by his loss, because we loved him and now have lost him forever.

Don't misunderstand me, I've had my fair share of deaths. I watched my childhood friend get killed by a car when I was in 2nd grade, and I've had several other friends commit suicide.

Maybe the grief comes from feeling left out or hopeless, because the situation is truly out of your hands and unchangeable.

My school had two suicides, one each year, both the same way (train tracks run right next to my school)... and both were in my grade and from my elementary school.

My town had 9 kids die last year from one of our highschools, and nine at the other too. I knew about 10 of them. It's so much sadder when they're young.

I'm an optimist. I consider it "cleaning the gene pool."

That is horrible to say. you don't know any of them, what if they were the most wonderful people you never met?

What if they weren't? Is the glass half full or half empty?

My dad killed him-self two years ago.Since then I get tired of all the Titty babies around school who cry because of a lost animal. I can't remeber the last time i have felt any sympathy for anyone.

I'm 15 now. Sympathy is wasted on too many people.

I'll never feal sympathy for you. I hopee you lose a leg, or go blind.

Love is a powerful emotion. As Huey Lewis said "Makes one man cry, makes another man sing". That's the power of love...
