Thousands of people are sad about Paul Walkers death, most of these people didnt even know him. However, since he was a celebrity we all know of him and we became well aware of his passing soon after it happened. I keep seeing people post things about how nobody mourns or post on Facebook about the thousands of people who die every day that arent celebrities and how disgusted they are with humanity because of it. I keep seeing R.I.P. to the other guy in the car who nobody talks about because he wasnt famous. I see people posting about deaths in military, and how nobody says anything about them either. But the fact of the matter is, people dont mourn over things they dont know of. How is someone suppose to pay their respects to someone they dont know is dead, let alone that they ever knew was alive. People mourn over the deaths of their friends, and family, and their friends family, as well as people they are aware of or can relate too, either they be famous or become famous after they die. Think of the shootings in Colorado, everyone was saddened by that because many people were removed from this planet long before it was their time. It was all over they news for weeks. The president did a speech about it. We felt sadness for the families, and we had empathy for them because we became aware of what happened. Now, what if something like that happened and nobody knew about it? How could you feel empathy for something you were unaware of, of people you were unaware of? How could you send those families who grieve over their family members death your greatest wishes. You cant. You wouldnt even know they exist. When my grammy died earlier this year its not like the whole world wept and millions came to her funeral, and obviously I wouldnt expect that to be the case because not everyone knew her. But the people that were lucky enough to know her did come, and celebrate the life she had lived. Now I didnt sit here post about how the world didnt care about my grammy because I know thats not true, the truth is that the world wasnt aware of lher and thats nobodys fault. If everyone did know her, they wouldve been sad. But, the people that were aware were sad. You see? I am not angry at you all for not knowing or say R.I.P. to her because that is unfair to you. I hope you wouldnt hate me for not knowing of a death in your family or the death of your friend if I didnt know that they died. The same goes for the lady at the Taco Bell drive through or bottle return guy at Winco. I dont expect her or him or anybody to say sorry for something she is unaware of. If you knew of every death of every human being on every single day in this world what would you do? What could you do? Not once had I seen a R.I.P. to the thousands of non-famous people of the world who die every day before Paul Walker had died. So therefore I feel like you people are posting in spite of the attention he is getting and that makes me angry. You people should be ashamed of yourselves. You never said anything about anyone dying who you didnt know was dead, before this. Now, all the sudden you are all spokesman for the dead people that people are unaware of? You are disgusted that people care about the death of someone they knew or looked up to, and not someone they dont know a goddamn thing about. How is that fair? He has garnered attention from news sources and online media because he was a famous person. People are aware of him, hell, I wanted to be like him when I was growing up. The other guy who nobody talks about people didnt know of. Some still dont know who he was. Thats not anyones fault. Some people are famous and some people arent. When the story came out the initial reaction is omg Paul Walker died, because we all know who he is. But when you think about it longer people do realize that Paul Walker wasnt the only one who died, that it isnt just his family who lost someone dear. I feel like the people that are posting those things are not being genuine to themselves. I feel like they are angry, now that Paul Walker is being mourned by thousands of people, and not the other people who die everyday that nobody knows of. But go through your pages and look back to how many times you said R.I.P. to every death that occurred on that day. You all are hypocrites. The reason we each have families and friends is to support each other through life, and comfort each other during death. Everyone dies, everyone. Not everyone is going to know when you die or when I die, and I think I am ok with that. I have my family and friends who will help me through this journey, just as you have family and friends who will help you through yours. Just like everyone else has theirs. Be thankful for that. Be thankful that people around the world have families and friends and that when people do become aware of tragedy we are there for each other. Every single tragedy that occurs and that the people are aware of brings more support to the people who need it. We should be thankful that we can feel empathy for others, and that when needed we give and receive the support to carry on in this life we live. We should be thankful for the love we receive, and we should be thankful for the love we can give. You shouldnt judge people who are sad by the death of someone they know or cared about.
