why do people care is it to make them feel better about themselves or do the feel they need to care?
i wonder if there is something wrong with me because i dont care at all, unless it affects me in some way, why should i? am i missing something? or is everyone just pretending? if so why pretend?
there is probably more to say i just cant think of it, and please do not get hung up on the details about the cop or something because it could be anything from a child drowning to a natural disaster. and for the immigration thing it could be any law its just that one i hear about the most now adays
(and im sorry if this is hard to read its hard to organize my thoughts, im aslo if this is the wrong place i just thought it fit)

Hello Nsomthn,
All I can give you is my opinon what I feel why I care. I care because the murder of a child is the murder of an innocent; the murder of a policeman is a murder and attack against the very people who have sworn to protect us. The murder of any decent person is a loss and is a travesty.
It is unjust and an outrage. People with no conscience who committ murder are uncaring on any level other than what pleases them, what they want, whether it is murder, or any other crime.
Those who take flowers and soft toys are showing sorrow for the loss of an innocent young life that will never achieve what it was born to acheive; and they go in support of the grieving family, so that they know they are not alone. It is also a reminder of mortality and how fragile life really is.
Just as we in our mental illness come here for support, to receive support in the form of words and ((((hugs)))) those people go to the scene for support; to be where the one who died took their last breath. Because there is an essence of them there and it can be felt.
I can understand it confuses you though I don't understand why it bothers you. It is a natural instinct to group together in grief, that is why people go to funerals; to pay their last respects to the one who is gone, and to tell the family that they are not alone and if they need any help they can call on them for it.
This is all I can tell you at the moment of the top of my head,
Rhiannon
