It annoys me a little that because some celebrities have died, its the "worse year ever".

I'm sure if you are a family member of one of the celebrities then yes it probably wasnt a great year, but people really should be looking at their own lives and saying, my family are all well and good, nothing bad has happened, everyone in the family is happy. It's been an ok/good year. My wife said it to me best, some of the people she has on facebook have not once mentioned these celebrities over the last few years when they were alive, and now they are dead, it... post after post crying about how bad this year is. Stupid.

This is exactly what I mean. It seems unique to humanity even if only for the simple fact that we are a social species.

It's like a conjured up sadness from emotions that were never real to begin with. I'm being serious here.
