And with each format changing as our lives - and technology - move forward, it feels more and more shallow (and so does almost every field of our lives), or so I think.

People have their ways of mourning, of course, we all differ when it comes to expression, but deep down I cannot seem to fathom how people can mourn something like the death of a person they knew or were close to them by sad emojis, emoticons, some small sad reply to a sad post and what have you on facebook (or whatever the social platform is) instead of doing something more meaningful in their name.

Granted, those people could very well be actually mourning them, or simply had no other means of expression and i'm just being a controversial (as I already made, and I quote myself, a "small sad reply" even though I knew her - or of her - not, until today) nitpicking brat with a very limited perspective on how people think and process things, which is the probably case here.

Your post is definitely something to think about.
