I DO accept the sad event, and I don't get caught up in them either. That's my whole point, I think people get too caught up in them, and get too sad. It isn't that I can't recognize when something is sad, it just doesn't affect me like it does everyone else. Maybe it's just because none of it directly relates to me. The only major loss I had in my life was when my grandma died when I was 12. I've had other relatives die since then and I didn't cry, well I did at my other grandpa's funeral, but not my other grandpa or my aunt's.
