  He did not believe in god. Besides, I hope you cry for a lot of other things as well, otherwise, I would find this disturbing. Edit : downvoted as expected... yes I find it disturbing that people are still so sensitive on sj death as compared to other tragic events.

    >I hope you cry for a lot of other things as well, otherwise, I would find this disturbing. Should we cry at every tragedy? If so, we would always be crying. A death of a great man has moved him(her). Leave it at that. EDIT: I hope more people downvote me into oblivion because I really don't give a damn. I was the kid who had a really bad life growing up, had friends who chose a very wrong path and read three newspapers everyday attempting to either find answer to the pain in the world or to look at a different journalist's critique of the situation in the hope of finding something positive. I concentrated on every single tragedy I was aware of because I wanted to save them but I could not. Heck, even to this day, I still care about every single life on this earth. At some point you learn not to cry to about what happens. It begins to wear you down. I no longer read the news because I no longer want the negativity. As always, if I can change things along the way I do so. But I'm willing to bet many of you do not. To cry about everything is a child's notion. Adults are not afforded that option.

  that was an incredibly moving eulogy. I just so happen to be about a quarter the way through his biography, and its an interesting contrast to read about "young" ambitious steve vs steve in the sunset of his life. Mona really hit on something when she said we die in the middle of many stories. Im interested to read some of her work now.
