Because if we are considering a death, it’s about the max lost life potential

A 110 year old who dies lost no years, they lived far past the human average

A 40 year old who suddenly dies lost out on the second half of their life

A 10 year old who suddenly dies lost out on like 80% of their life

A newborn who dies of CIDS lost out on their entire life

And, let’s use a miscarriage, a baby who dies due to miscarriage lost out on more potential life than any of those above


Now that’s empathy for the death. Not for the parent. Because obviously I am going to have slightly more empathy for a parent who loses a baby or a 10 year old than one who suffers a miscarriage (although obviously I’ll still have it for this) because they had time to become more attached to the child and so their hurt will be deeper

But a lot of Dems, it seems their empathy goes up linearly backwards from max human age down to 1 day old and stops there

Style guide recommends linearly, directly, and inversely.

I hope this helps.

I'm personally happy to be alive, even though life is often very hard and tragic. Glad George Carlin wasn't able to decide for me ahead of time that I shouldn't exist to own the evil republicans.
