[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The posts about peoples' grief and spiritual journeys are moving. BUT, the point of the OP, I believe, was why does it take a personal experience of senseless tragedy before people face the existence of senseless tragedy? It's a sad comment on humanity that anyone could get to the age of 18 without realizing that babies die, people die of painful cancers at young ages, and millions of innocent people have died senselessly in the Holocaust and wars and plenty of other horrific events. Prior to your own parents dying did you not realize this? Did you think people deserved this suffering? It reminds me of politicians who say "I have daughters" to explain their opposition to rape or sexual assault. Would you not give a shit about rape if you had sons? If people were able to have more empathy just based on being human we would all be so much better off. [/quote]

Honestly I think it's because some where deep inside people believe that others might have deserved their fate. When they are forced to face stuff in their own lives, they have to come to terms with the randomness of life. [/quote]u

+1.  And that god favors them -- until god doesn't come through for them.  Then they figure maybe god isn't real. [/quote]
