[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At first I was 30% sad that Amy Winehouse had died and 60% sad about what happened in Norway. After reflecting on the fact that AW was a drug addict and chose to shoot drugs, I subtracted 5% of my sadness, leaving me with Amy at 25% and Norway still at 60% since they were innocent and the numbers where larger. That left me with an overbudget of 15% of my sadness allotment. I chose to place 5% with breast cancer survivors, 5% to people with lung cancer that never smoked and 5% to the discontinuation of Trader Joe's Vegetable Stock. I hope that these figures add up correctly not only mathematically but ethically as well. [/quote]If I was being flip with this post, it was to make an important point. When someone dies, it is sad even if it is a part of life. When others judge whether that life was worthy, than that is really, really sad. I simply don't understand the point of comparing cancer to drug addiction in an attempt to justify basic hard heartedness in terms of the loss of a human being. It must be nice to be able to compartmentalize these types of emotions. I haven't figured out how to do it and I don't hope I learn to anytime soon.[/quote]
