एक वृध लोकप्रिय जानी मानी हस्ती की मृत्यु vs एक जवान लोकप्रिय जानी मानी हस्ती की मृत्यु ; हमें जवान की मृत्यु का दुःख दर्द ज़्यादा , क्यूँ लगता है ; शोक की घड़ी ज़्यादा भारी क्यूँ लगती है ; दोनों ही अपनी अपनी जगह , क़ायम प्रचलित , लोकप्रिय , जानि मानी हस्तियाँ , फिर एक का शोक दूसरे से ज़्यादा गम्भीर क्यूँ लगता है । क्यूँकि , जो जवान था उसकी गुंजाइश की मृत्यु हो गई ; जो उससे सम्भावनाएँ बन सकतीं थीं , वो समाप्त हो गयीं । The death of an elder celebrity vs death of a younger .. the grief of the latter more intense than that of the former .. why ..? The younger more tragic Why the loss of the young seems more tragic than that of the older .. Because you lament the loss of opportunity in the latter .. unrealised possibilities
