But there isnt a "degree" of death, it is absolute. So the situations are not comparable. Plus, your GM was never legally related to you.

It IS clever to notice similarities between situations that other people do not see - that is often how jokes are created. Tragedy plus time equals humor. But i am not sure what your equation is.

If you do not have empathy for other people, why do you want other people to have empathy for you?

I understand not having empathy - that is how i was raised also. Empathy seems very expensive.
Thanks for this!
