Bold mine.
One of the reasons why I didn't participate in this thread so far. I didn't know the guy when he was alive, but I didn't even rejoice over Thatchers demise although I despised that crone with a vengeance. It may be different when someone is still in power and does incredible damage to the world. Not the rejoicing part but the sympathy part for some assassination attempt. Hitler would have been such a figure, Stalin too, maybe some others.
That guy was just a cartoonist of dubious nature, obviously. He preached to the choir, more or less. So what's so important about him dying anyway?
Agreed.
I find it appropriate to feel a sense of relief and gratitude when a very dangerous person dies in a war - such as Hitler, Bin Laden, and Stalin. But never happy celebration.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
