Reply #17: I cry a lot [View All]

[MedleyMisty]

I lost my father when I had just turned seven. When I read or hear the stories from VT or Iraq, I don't think that my pain compares to the pain then. But I do feel the same about both and cry about both.

So yeah, I don't think you could get through life if every time another human died you reacted as if your parent or spouse or sibling or child or close friend died. But I can feel the same empathy for strangers, whether they're American or Iraqi.
