Cruel Heart

[blueberry yum yum]

Ok well...recently a guy at my school overdosed on pills and died. Many of the students at my school were sad and depressed. I knew the guy to some degree but i felt no remorse to his death. In fact...i kinda chuckled at it a bit. For some reason i don't feel remorse for people who cause harm to theirselves. This isn't the first time something like this has happened. My cousin was paralyzed from the waist down because he was drinking and driving and drove off the road into a ditch. I felt no remorse. Some of my friends say im cruel hearted and evil for feeling this way....am I?

 

[rs nechryeal]

no. if the death or injury is self inflicted remorse should not be given. if some1 is murdered that is compleatly different. if u have no remorse for some1 that is murdered u r cruel

 

[world]

its hard to have remorse for someone else when its not happening to you. its just human nature. its simply because you dont care unless its happening directly to you or affecting you. just my thoughts.

ok to be honest if he was supposed to be taking the pills it would be different but he prolly wasnt so i wudnt say ur cruel hearted maybe a lil tho

Bro get a little empathy in you. We're talking about someones life, have a little respect...

He was still in Highschool, obviously just a kid with a whole fucking life ahead of him, and now it's gone.

Your talking about this like it's something playful

"Lol someone died and idc am I evil?"

Lack of empathy doesn't make you evil, but by societies definition it makes you a sociopath.

Sorry man, I'm not trying to be harsh, but I don't see how you could disrespect someone so much.

Being a dick about someone losing their life is cold hearted man. You don't know what issues that person had to cause them to do that ex " molested as a child, beaten, drunks for parents, depression" think about those kind of things before you laugh at someone who has passed.

But just try to think more about why he did that, and how depressed he must have felt. And to the person that was paralyzed, imagine if you were paralyzed and had to be in a wheelchair for the rest of your life.

Lack of empathy does not by any means make you a sociopath, it happens to be one of twenty characteristics created by Dr. Robert Hare in a psychopath checklist and can only be determined on a case-to-case basis.

I wouldn't say it's abnormal for someone to not feel remorse for something that does not directly influence them, however most people put a mask of empathy even if it doesn't really reflect their feelings because they feel that it is their moral obligation. You have to realize that we are talking about someone who made a stupid decision, they don't deserve to die.

I agree, how would you feel if your friend laughed at your death? Don't say you weren't his friend. If you knew him, talked to him, or even knew him from what other people say he was your friend. Don't make lame excuses like "he was doing harm to himself," you are mentally ill.

My cousin ODed on pills also, and I was worried for 3 days until he was out of the hosipital.. Luckily he didn't die, and honestly he pisses me off daily.. but I still cared for him.. Thats what we call empathy. Which you lack.. I think they have pills for that. Honestly, see a doctor before you cause harm to yourself or someone else.

Now i can understand if someone has an unintentional accident and was injured or worse...then i would feel for them. But not when they're in good health and then go get drunk and decide to drive or pop pills just for the hell of it. I won't shed a tear for them...And i'm not a sociopath

Let me make an analogy for you, say you got in a car wreck and died.

Technically it was your choice to drive in the car knowing the risks just as it was his choice to pop pills knowing the risks... in both instances a tragedy has occurred and a life has been lost. The only difference is that illegal drugs are slightly more taboo in our society and you have been conditioned to regard them and their surroundings as evil.

For you to minimize the loss and life of another is simply ridiculous.

 

[inpherus]

No, i personally dont think you are. but you should of at least been like. "poor kid.. wish he knew better"

 

[Tgump]

I find pretty much everything just funny. I find death and suffering just...funny. Sure, I'll feel depressed sometimes, but I get over it. You can call me an ass, but the only people who can succeed are the ones who don't sit on their asses and cry about shit.

 

[blueberry yum yum]

Well spoken tgump

 

[juvenilepunk]

No its not evil just your way of letting out pain

 

[Macroman]

Self harm, or doing something stupid and getting hurt, I show no remorse either.

 

[Jansen]

Hey guys, look at me, I don't care if people died, so I talk about it on the internet.

Is this cool? y/n

Consider this scenario: He's just a kid who I couldn't care less about, does that mean I should be someone I'm not and try and act like I do indeed care about him?

 

[Ughster]

The point is it's a kid he knew, and he either does care and is pretending like he doesn't, or he's just making this topic to be a dick.

If he really didn't care at all, like completely neutral, he wouldn't be talking about it, but the existence of this topic either proves he cares one way or the other.

The 'chuckle' was slightly unnecessary, and part of me is telling me you're exaggerating for the sake of drama, but if you did 'chuckle' then you shouldn't be too proud of yourself. People tend to mourn deaths (particularly of those they know or like).
