The wounded and the dead
#13
RE: The wounded and the dead
If the death of one lost child is infinitely horrible, I don't see how it being the same or thereabouts for two discredits the second one, the point is children dying feels as bad as it gets anyway, it's just that the less children die, the better, obviously. I don't see how it can get much worse in feeling than simply one dying. Each child individually, all things being equal, suffers the same amount. Less dying is better, but one dead child feels so horrific to a caring parent that I don't think the horror could really be multiplied so much, because it's so close to maximum horror anyway.

But I dunno, these subjects are hard for me to judge. Obviously this is a subjective matter of judging. But I mean, if I had a child who died, that would be so horrifying I don't think it could really be any worse if more died: Any number of children dying is about as bad as it would get for me I think. But then I can't really know because it's of course, never actually happened to me.
