so what? does that mean you can disregard his feelings?
Being unable to feel empathy for the lesser person?Gee, what does that sound like?
Lesser person, so you say. I said the one who suffered the lesser loss. And it's not being unable to feel any empathy (although the loss might be so insignificant to the observer's standards that it arouses none, like paris hilton and her ipod, her pain is still real to her, but few people would give a **** about it), it's feeling a lot less empathy, so much less empathy that when both losses are compared, the lesser one seems insignificant in comparison
because it is insignificant in comparison. It takes an emotionally colorblind person not to see this.
"Who cares that someone else's wife just died?" If my girlfriend left me and my friend's wife died I would suck it the **** up and keep it in perspective that my pain while real is nothing compared to his. Any sane outside observer would see it the same way. No sane person would atribute the same weight to them both. If the widower wants a long period off from work, it's reasonable and fair to give it to him. If a guy gets dumped by his 1year gf, feels like shit and wants the same, it's not. He's socially expected to keep it toghether because people can naturally estimate the degrees of trauma another person is going through and act accordingly. We all relativize pain, it's part of our affective lifes from our childhoods.
Now, you said SM is super mentally healthy because he had it worse than everyone and was superfunctional. I was pointing out that he didnt have it worse and his pain pails in comparison to others.
Strawman. nice to see you're not capable of logical thinking.
