Sadness in the world, it happens, but why?

Since my Sophomore year, there has been at least one death a year; either from car accidents or shootings. Why is it that people only care about a person after they have gone from this planet, how easily we forget about what is important. We are simple creatures who are designed to care only for ourselves, if we could forget that fact for a day only, what a difference we could make.

So many things in this world don't make sense, for example, why is my music skipping? gah.
