No. We all die. We can't cry. It's selfish. How? That person is in a better place. Wether you're religious or not (like me) you know it. We hold on to people because WE won't see them again. That's the only reason. We never stop to think maybe they'd want this.
It sounds like you've got your own problems in dealing with a loss.
It's true, we all die, but like the person said above, a life is a
fucking LIFE.
Don't be so quick to disregard what a beautiful thing it can be.
I went to a graveyard with my friends once. We didn't know a single person on those headstones. We saw the grave of a man who suddenly and unexpectedly passed away at the age of 21. His headstone was provided by colleagues at work. No special messages, no family listed on the stone. It was most likely payed for out of courtesy by his acquaintances at the work place.
In that moment, we honoured him. We considered who he would have been, had we met him, and what his life was like, how he had felt. We did the same for several other graves we read that night. Myself and my friends shared a deep moment of mellow thought, for those who have been loved, and who were lost to the pages of unwritten history. Their stones won't be their forever, but they serve as a memory. A memory that three teenagers, 100s of years in the future, can appreciate.
No matter how bad the person, the loss of life is always a tragedy.
While I do not know Kourtney myself, and have not seen her in the forum until now, I offer my condolences to her friends and family. I am sure that she will be missed, if not by those around her, by those that will miss her apparent wit and tone here on the forums.
Rest in beautiful peace.
