Just a few minutes ago, I learned from Facebook that someone I know and have known for years has died and will be buried on November 28. I feel so sad right now because I consider her as one of my few good friends. She'd been living and having her own business in Manila for many years so we only come across each other in Facebook. She was always the first one to LIKE all my posts. I was wondering why lately I haven't seen any of her posts so I messaged her on Facebook. No response for a long, long time. Today, a friend of hers answered my message to this friend of mine telling me that she has passed away and will be buried on the 28th. I feel so bad about this. I don't know why she had left so soon. She is only in her early 40's. Oh my. I wonder why, I have to know why.

I find it kind of strange you feel sad about this. You were no close friends at all, just met once in a while on facebook. So is this about feeling quilty or because of her age? And what has age to do with it at all? From the moment on you are born you are dying. If you like it or not. Nobody has the guarantee he/she will get old. This is just a fixed idea we all have in our head. For some reason it must be great to get old. But most old people are pushed away being useless for the society (no job, only consuming, not taken serious by their life experiences, always sick, just consuming, too slow, too smelly, living from old memories, always repeating themselves, etc etc). Might be she left soon to your opinion but what is soon? There are 15 year old children/people who have 100 times more life experiences as 80 year old people. I believe her work here is finished. There is no need to stay longer, to learn more. She is finished here and it's good the way it is. Sorry but it does sound weird to me that people you never meet or met in real life feel sorry or sad or grieve if you die. So many do say that also about people (children included) who live alone or a lonesome life and still would be if they were still alive.

Even if we don't want it to happen, this is life. I have best wishes for her family and loved ones, it hurts to lose a loved one.
