[quote=Anonymous]Most of us can feel many things for people we don’t know. Because stories move us. That’s what makes us human versus, say, a dog. We can read books and movies and be moved to tears by characters. Celebrities are real people, and we grew up watching them and knowing their own stories. This person’s story has a really sad ending, so we feel sad. And he had a huge platform in Friends, so there are lots of people feeling sad at once. Everything about our culture preys on our ability to imagine things and be moved by other people’s stories. Commercials. Books. TV. Social media. Religion. Politics. [/quote]
