i think that the amount one grieves, depends on how much one has lost in life.

eg. a small childs gerbil dies. they cry for weeks.

or some poor unfortunate person who has had a family member die. to them, the gerbil prolly didnt upset em much. you get me?

cuz loss is only measured on a personal scale. noone has the right to say OH youre overreacting.

alternatively, people can be nonchalant to the point of it being scary bout loss. thats usually a sign of repression i guess. but yeah :P

i have to go, before my lappy overheats.

but yeah ^^
