I especially ask those of you who have been here more than two years, although all comments are welcome.
On the forum, you interact with people every day but you only see a nickname.
Ive been on other forums before and you get one day when someone says that a certain member has died. That person knew him personally and that is why is saying it on the forum. And then, you think of some debates you shared with him, but all you can remember of him is a soul hidden under a nickname. You feel a bit sad, but not nearly as sad as if you had meet him in person.
Ive been thinking that Ill probably be on this forum for many years, getting increasingly involved, and then I think that all people Ill interact with are souls hidden under nicknames.
In any kind of forum it is good to not personally know many people for privacy reasons (unless they were your friends before), but especially on this one it is more important. If you have been here for many years, you are probably loaded, and thats why you have to be careful.
For me, the forum is motivating but has this a bit sad part.
This post shows your sensitivity; belongingness ; love for others; sympathy in your heart. These qualities of heart are present in most of the human being though with different level of quantity. Some are more concerned; though the others are very less caring for others.
It is sure that whenever we will hear news about the death of someone with whom we dealt in the past may be face to face or through social media chats.
Becoming sad is natural part of sensitive human being. The more you dealt some one or the more you were closer to someone; the more you will feel pain. The lesser dealt with person's death will be giving lesser pain / sadness in your heart.
But I suggest we can just do one thing for the departed soul; just pray God Almighty for peaceful journey of the departed soul.
