Boy survives Plane Crash

[Rev. Rye]

All I said was 'at least he's alive.' Nice way to use a tragedy to get up on your soap box, guys. :/

I was more responding to Elionwy's OP.

What the fuck guys? Seriously? You can't even have a little ounce of hope that, despite this horrible tragedy, this kid will go on to live a happy life? You can't even bother to try and imagine this kid going on to make the best of his life? Honestly, KichigaiNeko, if he's surrounded by a bunch of people like you, yeah, I bet he will commit suicide by age 20.

Well, since I read up on the life of Primo Levi, and his fellow Holocaust memoirist Tadeusz Borowski, a question began to brew in my mind: who ended up worse off: those who died in the Lager, or those who survived? I suppose it's easier to ask that question when one doesn't let life insist on life's own terms. Soon, I found that the same question could be asked for all manner of catastrophes. There's no guarantee that somebody who survived an accident like that would enjoy that fact.
