How does one make sense of these random nonsensical tragedies that happen in life?
- benologist 15y agoYou don't, death just sucks.
- blackboxxx 15y agoIn a world with urban sprawl and animal cruelty, depleting natural resources, and families living on the streets, you're going to focus on a stupid freak accident?
- bumped 15y agoAs inhumane as the treatment of animals has been, you should see how we've treated each other. That being said, let's not question the importance of deaths that are relative to one's background or focus. Death should never be devalued no matter how "freak" or "accidental".
- Hisoka 15y agoThat wasn't my point. My point is this hits hard because it seems very random, and meaningless, and I want to know how people can make sense of it. Animal cruelty is just people being cruel. Depleting natural resources is just greed. I can rationalize those things. They're extremely easy to think about
- blackboxxx 15y agoWithout even looking at your profile I can tell by your remark you still live at home and are no older than 17. That's not a bad thing. You just need to grow up a little. But for now, go ahead, obsess over needless things.
- Hisoka 15y agoHa! Me saying "That's not my point" hurt your little ego, huh? Awwww...
