With everything said & done, life does go on ... with people dieing everyday & I dare say every minute.
With MJ & FF going in such a public display, is is fair to say that I don't even care about such deaths? I really do not. With no disrespect intended to anyone.
What MJ gave to me I could put into something smaller than a thimble; perhaps smaller than the smallest computer chip (although that analogy is off since now we can store so much on the smallest computer chip that a world of information would be available), but the same goes with FF also.
Yes, I have experienced death up close & far away. It all means the same to me. You were here & now you are gone.
What is left behind is a different story. What is perceived from the deceased lives is a different story ... but even this becomes very impersonal & awkward after time.
Death is a reality. A reality we will all face up close & very personal when it is our turn. The so called 'grief experience' is the cutting edge factor that the living take on!
My caring about such deaths is only to the ones who run after them. The ones who think these unfortunate souls are to be idealised or iconized. These are the ones I grieve for.

We are born to die. Every day we live is one more step closer to the enevitable. I feel sorrow for those left behind. They are the ones who are suffering, not the deceased.
I have lost many very close to me. I miss them, but I go on trying to live my life to its fullest.
You are absolutely correct Nancy. All of us will eventually die, some of us will be remembered some of us won't. Some of us will be written about in history books but most of us won't. We are born, we live and then we die. It's the way we were designed.
It's always those who remain here who feel the sting of death..I know that sting all too well..I've found that suicide and murder tend to be the hardest to deal with..There are so many unanswered questions.
grieve is personal, if you don't share it that is fine, but allow others the right to grieve, personally I don't grieve over celebrities because I don't know them, but on a humanitarian level I grieve as I would hearing about some unknown child kidnapped and murdered, or somebody dyeing from rare disease and I don't know them, so on that level I do,
but people who follow the celebrities feel like the know these people personally, and others are philosophically grieving, grieving about the talent that is now gone,
to each his own.
