There's been a disturbance in "The Force"

jwmmakerofmusic

How many more days in this shit year are left? -__- Come on 2016, if you're truly bloodthirsty for celebrities, at least go for the Kardashians or anyone from Jersey Shore, or any other worthless celebrity who really did nothing much to earn stardom.

I always wonder who these people are. They never did anything interesting, they never say anything interesting and they are so full of themselves it makes you want to vomit.

If that were the case, you'd use google and learn something. I think what you meant to say is "I always want to pretend like I'm above sadness and grief for things that other people find important. Also, I don't even own a television!"

I don't google airheads and I don't have a tv anymore.
I have absolutely no interest in c list celebrities because they do nothing that moves me or makes my heart jump.

Of course I also regret the death of Carrie Fisher. I like her wit in her interviews, and I like her roles in the movies. But in truth it is absolutely normal to die one day, and there certainly is no "disturbance in the force" at all! If someone thinks it is a disturbance, this person really has to learn a lot ... about life in general, and about "the force".

Think about it. Don't be offended (this is not my intention anyway). Just think about it.

You can also think the other way round: if people lived forever in their physical form, if there was no physical death, this would be wrong. This would be terrible. And it's impossible too. So, therefore, everything is alright as it is. There's a reason for mourning, but there's no reason to think that people's natural deaths were a bad thing.

Personally I believe that the human's soul cannot die, and I guess this makes it much easier for me to deal with death. I understand that for people who don't believe this, death is always a tragedy. Which is a tragedy in itself.

"Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically. The cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins, we start to build up new little habitats, to have new little hopes. It is rather hard work: there is now no smooth road into the future: but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles. We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen." D.H Lawrence

You do know that she was her mother, right? I know you furiously don't care, but you might just be missing the connection that caused her death to be noted in this thread to begin with...

Betty Reynolds you mean, of course I do.
I love film.
I used to be a patron of traumathek and videodrome,
if that tells you something.

@JohnnyGoodyear To be honest, I think @lala was referring to Kardashians when speaking of "c list celebrities who do nothing" and "airheads", not referring to Debbie nor Carrie.

Huh? I don't think so at all. Speak for yourself.
I remember the big Bowie thread here, and I found it very comforting that others feel like they lost a friend too.

Rats. You had to mention it. I saw that from the beginning, but couldn't help sitting back and watching it play out.

Sorry ... hate to betray any humor in what is a serious thread. No disrespect intended. I knew it would be cleared up eventually.

I stand corrected.
