So, like the Hivemind is trying to subtly tell you, stating you don’t care about others’ grief is kinda gauche. It’s one of those sitiations covered by the adage “if you can’t think of something nice to say, just don’t say anything at all.”
Just let people express their grief. Art (and I include music, film, and kids books in that go read Walter the Farting Dog and tell me it doesn’t spark a love of reading) heals hearts and connects people. I like to think about the emotion called frisson. People like Dolly and Tim, their job was to help people like us experience that emotion together. I look up to that and it’s what I want to do with my gigs.
