The other discussion about how everything is relative...I can your point Joana, but also UGAPlaya's...perspective is important.
I recall another board where there was a discussion between women about miscarriages...one woman said that a woman having a miscarrriage at 4 weeks is just as devastating as a woman losing a baby at nine months; that 'you cannot measure whose pain is greater'...well, that may be a tough call, but I think any reasonable person can make an objective statement that yes, the former is not as great a tragedy as the latter.
So if I were told I had Type 2 diabetes would I be as devastated as if you told me I had Stage 4 cancer? Of course not. |
Yeah Ris for me, it's a dog. More than likely a stray. He was a cute little booger too. But at the end of the day yesterday it didn't even cross my mind. Yesterday I read about Patrick Sweazy's cancer diagnosis and THAT crossed my mind last night as I was watching TV. I know he has a family and kids. That's what I mean by perspective.
