All throughout my life, and everyone's for that matter, people die and there is nothing that I can do about it. But for some reason, I always feel guilty. My grandfather died and I felt horrible because I never said goodbye. A kid that I knew was in a car accident and was propelled out of his window and away from the car only to break his neck on the way down. When I heard the news, I felt this huge surge of emotion and started crying and then realized that I didn't even like the kid, yet I still felt guilty somehow.
Why is it, and this could just be me, that we seem to feel guilty (or some emotion that is close to guilt) whenever someone we know dies?
There but for the grace of God...
That could have been me, maybe it SHOULD have been me.
yeah... it happens to most of us thinking feeling caring individuals. But you gotta learn to get over it, else you dirve yourself mad.
Your turn will come. No sense worrying about it.
The feeling of guilt comes more from what you haven't done. Everyone is in such a rush to do.. to go... to be someplace else, that when you stop, when life stops, you actually appreciate what you have OR even better assess what you need and what makes you happy.
That rush is of a careless, could happen anytime to anyone feeling, that makes us all human.
Thanks, that answered my question pretty well.
