If G-d Forbid one of my sons died of ANY cause I would not give a flying HOOT for my hair.
If that son had killed many children AND himself, I would give LESS of a flying HOOT for my hair than if he had died of another cause. Funeral or no funeral. That is just sick.
Yes and no.
For some folks, probably those living more shallow lives . . . they know nothing else. Going through the motions is all they’ve done. No one ever taught them any better. Likely their parents didn’t know any better. And they never paused long enough to say—tweet everyone out of the pool. This isn’t working and I’m not going on until I find something that convincingly works a LOT better.
They just keep going through the motions.
In truth, you have no idea what you would do or how you would behave until it happens to you. You think you know but you can’t know until that day.
