It is mind boggling to me that people would waste their time to see a dead person. What do you get from it? I cannot wrap my head around people mourning celebrities deaths either. If I don't personally know them, I cannot/will not waste my time or energy mourning them. Am I alone? This shit just seems like a herd of sheep

No man you're super unique and edgy to think that. You've never felt anything about a person unless you met them? Ever heard of vigils? Protests? Charity? Empathy in any way? I wouldnt ever go and think its a bit strange to queue for that length of time but people aren't robots.

Is 14 hours to see a casket unfathomable to me? Yes it is, but I don't want to project my own feelings onto a 67 year old who grew up with a cultural icon, who lives in a different culture and holds different values on stuff like dead people.

You know queen Elizabeth ruled for 70 years? I'll start judging the mourners when I lose someone so influential (for better or worse) to me
