answer:It depends on the kid and the circumstance. This kid had a fatal illness – no human activity could have stopped it. yes, it’s sad, but it was beyond anyone’s control. It doesn’t destroy me or anything like that. What pisses me off are the avoidable deaths of kids – car accidents, snakes choking them, parents shooting them, etc, – those make me pity the stupidity of people (mostly parents) and the complete lack of responsibility that most people display. Does it shatter me? No. But it makes me pity the people who are supposed to be the adults.
