Has a celebrity death ever affected you? Obviously it’s normal to feel a little bit shocked or saddened by it, but have you ever been affected deeper than that?
I’ll admit, when Steve Irwin (the Crocodile Hunter) died, I was distraught and I feel like it personally affected me. I grew up watching him and he was a bit of an idol of mine, so when he passed away, it really got to me.
When Nelson Mandela died, I was very upset (I think I made a thread about it before).
It really makes you think that even people you don’t personally know can have a huge impact on your life by their actions and the way they live their lives. It’s kind of amazing that you don’t necessarily need human contact to feel a human connection.
Thoughts? 🙂
