Good Lord! This post reminds me of the goodies from my little village. There was nothing that did not deserve a good session (or many) of moaning, whingeing and complaining about anything that became usual showing a complete lack of empathy. There also was this Colombian young girl questioning herself as why she should mourn attacks in Europe when Europeans don’t mourn attacks in Colombia. My answer was “because they are nearer our hearts and we understand the irrational of it all much easier”. Here again there are people who have been in the scene at some point and may have met the victims and may have their memories destroyed. If you are to judge them ‘selfish’ just bear in mind that small doses of selfishness keep the humanity alive.

Maybe next time a “How to Mourn Properly, Guide for Dummies” will be more appropriate if only more positive not giving the idea could not have done out of never being there but would have liked being the first if only she could.
