Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
I personally don't like the idea of celebrating over someone's death. There are, honestly, people I'm quite glad to see being removed from existence - bin Laden, for instance.
I don't know if being glad to see them gone counts as celebrating? That depends on the individual's interpretation of what I said. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"  RE: Ding! Dong! The bitch is dead!

If someone who you know has willingly harmed others, including women and children, dies, then you should throw a goddamn tickertape parade. Give everyone a day off school.

Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Y'all already know how I felt when Fred Phelps died, and he was a real life person. I don't watch Game of Thrones, but you know, there are lots of fictional characters whose deaths I would celebrate!
