2 funerals worlds apart

Tied to the previous entry, I was thinking to myself of the difference between the funeral I had attended, and that of Michael Jackson’s. (Obviously I had not attended MJ’s, but I can just imagine how grand it would be. Just look at all the memorial activities going on)

Would you like to be like MJ, and be remembered when you leave?

But when you reflect, so what if you are remembered by half the world? You are no longer around to know or care. It would not affect “where” you are “going”.

Thousands (or more) die everyday, so what’s the big deal with MJ’s?
Why do we not moan the death of strangers? Are they any less than MJ? We are all human beings, and we all die, so what difference does it make?
