oups.com... Angry, I think because it is so senseless and needless. It's upseting to see people killing their families in stupid ways. What's the point in being angry? Stupid or careless people kill their families every day. How is this any different, for example, from this highway accident: http://www.nwcn.com/topstories/stori....200c3bb7.html The father had FIVE of his kids in his truck, at least some of whom were not wearing seatbelts. Someone else caused the accident, but the father's negligence is likely what led to the death of his children. Of course, there are daily examples of even more direct irresponsibility on the part of parents. Getting angry over this sort of thing is useless, and if you want to be consistent about it, you'll be angry 100% of your time. It never stops. I think it's sad that people died, children or adults. But death is a fact of life. A certain percentage of us will die "senselessly" or "needlessly", and for the most part when society figures out a way to prevent that from happening, individuals figure out new ways to get around it and die anyway. Hell, most of our senseless deaths are still related to smoking or gluttonous eating habits. Accidents make the news, but they aren't what accounts for a major part of our death rate. Funny people should get so worked up over the former rather than the latter, then. Anger as an emotional response to an accident like this is draining, stressful, and misdirected. **** happens. Save the anger for things that matter (like politicians who break the law, lie about it until they are exposed, and then claim that they don't have to obey the law). Pete |
