I understand that the loss of a life is tragic...

But, I try not to be saddened by death. I feel like it cheapens how the person lived. I’d rather look at a person’s accomplishments and appreciate the time they had and what they did for the world or just what they did for those around them. Just keep being inspired by people who have passed on. Sure it’s different if you never met a person or you just heard about a group of people dying in the newspaper. But, I’d rather simply appreciate life more… Those people died and I’m sure the last thing anyone ever would want after dying is other people wasting their life mourning over them. They appreciate the sentiment. But I know at least for me, I’d want people to just keep living their lives and be grateful for what I brought to their life while I was alive to do it… I know it might sound cheesy and cliche, but in that sense people get to sort of keep on living… in everyone else.
