[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't stop crying about this.  What a loss.[/quote]

And here's the entire irrationality spectrum.  On one side, we have the "it's not a tragedy" pedants.  On the other, the people who can't stop crying.

Mental health lies somewhere in between.  [/quote]

This. It’s terrible that so much history is lost but thankfully it seems no lives were lost, it was not done intentionally, and it does not affect me personally at all.[/quote]

This, to me, is a huge problem everywhere. “If it doesn’t affect me personally, it isn’t really important.”[/quote]

It isn’t important to my life. That’s just a fact. I won’t cry or lose sleep over it but I can understand the significant loss to others.[/quote]

DP. No one has said it isn't important AT ALL (only personally). It seems they are discussing the spectrum from sad loss>tragedy. But on the flip side, devil's advocate, just because someone views it as important to them doesn't mean it need be important to everybody. Or more precisely, have the same effect on everyone.

I have been to Notre Dame, it is an important part of my personal and familial history. I am so sad to see it go. But I still can't view it as tragic.[/quote]
