What is the obsession of society feeling more grief over beautiful people dying, especially when it's suicide. I mean, shouldn't we feel sorry for someone dying, just for a human being, regardless of their rank on society's beauty standard? It's quite common to hear people saying 'oh they were such a beautiful person, it's so sad they died'. 'Oh they were such a beautiful person, it's so sad they took their life, such a waste'. Can't we just mourn the life that is been lost? Is it really that we don't have any other "criteria" to be sad about over being wasted away? I just don't get it. You never see people feeling sorry for the deceased that wasn't as "beautiful" in life. What? a beautiful person shouldn't have to die but it's "ok" for an "ugly" person to vanish? They're better off dead right? Is that it? Can the rest of us get somewhat of an equal sympathy?
It's not just death. No one wants anything bad happening if the person is good looking. Whenever people see a person seemingly healthy in the past that "all of a sudden" "lost it" or "went crazy", their initial response is "she was alright until just recently, whatever happened to her? oh this is so sad, she was such a beautiful woman". I swear there is such a strong worship like obsession over beautiful people!
Anyways, what made me think all of this was, i was watching the news and on the recent plane crash in Brazil, a woman who lost her daughter was being interviewed, I can only hear the translation but it was that same thing yet again. "My daughter was 1.7 meter, she was strong and beautiful, you can see her pictures on the internet......"
P.S.
I don't have anything against beautiful people :)
May all the victims of the crash rest in peace, all the beautiful and not so beautiful ones.
