So because somebody does not react the same as you, by crying and feeling sorry for themselves and being "depressed" it's wrong is it? I happen to know that my mother would not want me sitting around crying over her for days, she'd want me to get on with things and enjoy myself, not cry over things that I can't change. Really, I would to see a more valiant attempt at disproving what I've said. Surely there are times in your life that you have said to yourself "I'm not going to sit here feeling sorry for myself, I'm going to deal with it/get on with it"? Or maybe not, maybe you're just someone who has become what you see on the television?
I'm surprised that you haven't found out that there are limits to your willpower over your own being. Man, I gotta get me that homer print! GORGEOUS!
