Is it normal that i don't pity the dead?

Whenever a celebrity dies, people are always all "oh, poor thing, I feel so bad." But I don't understand why people pity the dead. They're at peace now (depending on your beliefs, I guess) and I feel much worse for the people who are still alive, and/or alone and in pain. I feel like we should spend less time worrying about how the dead are doing, and more about the people who are still alive. We should honor the dead, don't get me wrong, and remember them- but not pity them. DO you feel the same way? IIN?

    • If you feel that way, then why are you alive and well?

    Two months ago my mum died and last week my grandma died (her mum). 30 yrs and no deaths of anyone Im close to and then two like bam.

    I don't pity them and it's selfish to want them to hang around in pain.

    Why should you feel sorry for people who die? They're dead, there's nothing that you can do for them.

    I don't know, it depends. Earlier this year, a friend died in mysterious circumstances. It looked very much to us that his family killed him. The police investigated and no charges were brought. But I still think about him. Not so much him being dead, but his death itself.

    I pity those that are trying to get out of here but are suffering a painful death. I also pity their grieving families but I've never pitied the actual dead.

        Because I can agree to something and not have to argue every point? I wish I was a lemming. So I could drag you off the cliff with me.

              I do hate him and his sense of "everyone who doesn't believe the way I do is a complete loser"-entitlement. :-P
              Plus...I mean, the guy's a whackjob!
