No, I will not put this underneath an LJ-cut.

Life balances itself out, right?

Dynamic Equilibrium-- people will be killed, and people will be born to fill that gap

when stuff like this happens, it's scary. Personally, i don't find the situation itself, death and so on, scary but the fact that i don't even react to it. Frankly, i think most people don't know how, or even if, to react. Why? Because it's not real.
Death, to us, is what happens far away and in movies and when it strikes close (or semi-close, even) it's still something abstract. Though death IS a concrete thing, the feeling of loss is abstract and that is what affects us, i suppose. We want to break things down into little pieces, make it concrete. People cry, not because they knew her, but because they want to believe they did; simply because it's easier. Being sad is easy. I guess that's how we work. When something happens you are expected to feel and if you don't, it's very confusing. I guess it's like a sudden nausea. You don't know why but it's there and it's just easier saying you're ill.

awkward.

that's the word for it.

did you know that i ramble a lot?
(i have no idea if what i wrote made ANY sense. i'm not going to read through it, but just post it for you to be confused over XD)

I agree with your completely! When people die I just can't cry for the most part. Other people who barely knew the person freak out and can't eat for days in tears and it just leaves me feeling like I have something wrong with me. At times I'm told I have no heart. That happened to me freshman year when a kid I went to school with died in Africa. He was burned alive in a fire when he went to see his relatives. I hadn't seen him since maybe seventh grade but I couldn't cry.
