My lessons have all been cancelled today because a guy who used to go to our school died in a pretty big car accident and ploughed through the wall of a pub.

It pretty much sucks, despite the fact I didn't really know the guy, the whole atmosphere is totally messed up.

I'm saddened but I'm not too sure why, perhaps it's because other people are sad about it.

Some people cried just to fit in, people who didnt even know him, that annoyed me.

That annoys me too. I wouldn't shed a tear for someone I didn't know, it would make me feel insincere and if it had been the other way round and I was dead, I certainly wouldn't want anyone I did't know crying for me.

Eh? So you're not allowed to feel emotional for someone if you don't know them?

I dont think you should cry over someone if you dont know them.

It's not as if it will impact on your life.

I feel sorry for the guy, naturally, but I personally feel sorry for the people I know who are upset, not him, as I didnt know him. If that makes sense.

Well, crying is just an alternative form for feeling sorry for many.

I'm going to a funeral on Saturday for my next door neighbour who died, which sucks, but I didn't cry when he died even though I knew him fairly well and he was a nice bloke. Possibly if it was more tragic (younger, car accident etc.) I'd be more affected.

When I die I don't want a funeral, though. I'd rather the people who would have paid for it to put their money together and give it to charity or something; possibly something to do with any health problem that led to my death. Or something like that.

Now I've gone way off topic...

Dont people cry sometimes when they hear of others misfortunes because it perhaps brings memories of their own departed loved ones relatives/friends etc?

Perhaps.

I'm not a psycholigist.
