do you mourn your own past self, your youth, or even yesterday ? Do you mourn the people who will live when you die, because you won’t get to know them, and they won’t get to know you ?
The past and the future are not so different. While some of the past is catalogued in your memories, most of it remains unknown and unexplored, partly predictable, just like the future. enjoy the present and enjoy predicting the future and the past !
- david-gpu 5y agoI may be completely missing the mark here, but I'm going to guess that you haven't experienced yet the death of a close relative (parent, sibling). No doubt you wrote this comment from a place of kindness, but the way it's worded can easily be misinterpreted as dismissive or unempathetic, which is not what you intended. Next time you come across a grieving person, it may be better to stick with a simple "Sorry for your loss".
