I believe that is called compassion... ...if humans were to espouse that concept and live by it, this world would know peace at last... ...and have a chance to survive. Thank you for sharing, William. Love and peace to you,
Your words bring to mind of several memorials around here. I say a little prayer for those who loved the deceased most every time. Such a sad sight. You wrote some empathetic words and that makes you a real man, William! Kudos!
I DON'T CARE WHO WE ARE WE ALL CAN RELATE TO SOMEONE'S SORROW AND PAIN.
INDEED AND UNFORTUNATELY, IN THESE DAYS OF EXTREME SADNESS WHICH EXIST IN AMERICA...MANY SUCH CROSSES WITH FLOWERS ARE SEEN. AND THOSE THAT OBSERVE THEM, LIKE YOU AND SO MANY OTHERS, DO NOT HAVE TO KNOW THE MOURNING INDIVIDUALS TO BE SYMPATHETIC AND 'FEEL' THEIR PAIN. A WELL DONE, BITTERSWEET SHARING, MY FRIEND, THANK YOU.

There are exceptions, particularly for historical events.
