Is it good they died?

not for anyone who loved or cared for them, but the entire world is not those families. The species of the whole is not effected by the loss of the one.
Empathy is only healthy until you start putting the one before the many. The loss of the one is a tragedy only to those who knew them. The many are unaffected by the loss of the one.
incidentally, my aunt passed today after 1 day in hospice. She had been at deaths door for months by now. This woman was a raging bitch to everyone in the family, she treated my uncle like a slave, would berate and yell at him in front of groups. This was a guy who was cool with everyone, always had a funny story and worked his ass off for a local grocery chain for ~50 years, even when they shit on him over and over. He's not related by blood but he's more family than that witch ever was.
Yet, my family has to act all sad and sullen because a raging cunt of a bitch died.
Here's the deal. You're all so afraid of your own mortality, that when presented with the death of another your brain processes the fear and contempt for your mortality as grief for the dead.
when my mom told me she died today, I said, "Good" because the world actually is better off without that bitter old harpy.
