Paul Walker and Roger Rodas

So On November 30 2013, which is 2 days ago, the famous actor Paul Walker died by a car accident.

One of his good friends, Roger Rodas, driving a red Porsche Carrera GT with Paul as a passenger, crashed into a tree a pole and some other object and it ended up with tragic results: both of them lost their lives.

Those are the facts available on the net, what bothers me is all those posts I see on Facebook about people not caring about Roger Rodas, or people not caring about American soldiers dying in the war or some other statements involving people only caring about celebrates.

Guys, it's not about how many people care. Obviously when someone is a movie star and millions of people have been entertained by him, they will be saddened at his loss. Millions of people die every day, one cannot care about everyone simultaneously. The average person will care about the people they know, and especially the people they care about... that's why we use the word CARE.

But my perspective on things isn't only this, because I think everyone should care about everyone, we should all acknowledge other people's presence and contributions to this world as we all make this world better if not worse.

What I'm thinking is, It doesn't matter if millions of people aren't saddened by the death of someone, what matters is how much good that person have done in their lives. Your goal shouldn't to make people sad about your death, but to make people happy while you are alive.

I think everyone should care and have the decency to respect Paul Walker's death as much as any body else's. People should acknowledge the innevitable consequences of being famous, more people will be sadned. That doesn't mean that no one cares about the other people who die.

Every good person has people who care about them, and when they leave us, the close ones will be extremely sadned, and one shouldn't value this sadness... Sorrow is a painful fealing. But it also means that they have been happy durring that person's presence, and that is what counts.

sorry for repeating myself so many times.

Have a good day.
