Why does the death of someone close hurt so much more than other deaths?
Sorrow comes from ignorance and attachment
If there were no ignorance, we would not be sad in sorrow or glad in joy. Sorrow and joy are a way of seeing, and sorrow lives in attachment (moh).
Listen: if there were no ignorance in us, we would not be sad in sorrow or happy in joy. It is ignorance that makes us sad in sorrow and happy in joy.
