When I see the feelings of those who mourn the loss of a mother or father, sister or brother or close friend described as self-pity, I am deeply saddened by the callousness that seems all too pervasive.
How did that old saw go? Out of sight; out of mind.

How right this is Byz. It also shows the inability for people to care for anyone other than themselves. They have no care for anyone else but carry on like poptarts because they have mental illness which they blame for their not caring.
Yet these same people enjoy it when they make a negative impact upon others by their coldness. They are hypocrites of the worst kind, and I for one now refuse to give them the attention they are clambering for
