That is not what I meant especially since I'm an American myself. I meant that there's a much higher probability that he probably lived a great, full life since he's from the US (like France, NZ, or Canada). That's all most people would hope for before they die. I was trying to be optimistic. Thoughts like that are a mental defense for me against spiraling into never ending sadness. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for babies.

I will try to be more careful next time and better elaborate my thoughts. When you're sad, you tend not to think as straight. Also, at least I don't use throwaway accounts.



Hey, I understand what you are saying. I loose my nerve beyond control when I see someone hitting a helpless kid or an orphan urchin. In comparison my anger is substantially when I see some douche-bag passing comments or harassing a grown up girl. Blame me for being partial but that's how my emotions work.
