Funeral Connections

I went to a funeral on Saturday. It was a really odd experience. Only because I went expecting to not feel a thing. It was a funeral for a woman who worked with my mom. I met her when I was really young and I haven't seen her since I was a kid. So I really didn't expect what happened. It made me wonder whether or not you just get more in tune with your emotions or I'm just really emotional. But I cried that morning. It made me feel so connected to death and it's actual sadness. We as humans deal with death and violence everyday and it's no big deal. I mean we play Grand Theft Auto, kill millions of people and laugh. So why is it when death is there, really staring you in the face, is it sad? What's the connection there? It's really odd how your heart can break in the smallest ways.
