“Grief proves that love is selfish—we mourn our loss, not their absence from consciousness”
Agree
- We cry for our pain not theirs
- If they're at peace, grief serves ourselves
- Mourning is about our needs unmet
- We grieve the future we wanted
Disagree
- Grief honors the person who died
- Love naturally includes wanting their presence
- This cold logic misses grief's complexity
- Mourning connection isn't inherently selfish
