11. I don't have a problem with the literary usage,
Just with the colloquial usage, with the meaning of, "Oh how sad and awful!"
I think :-) that the neocortex is humanity's tragic flaw.
I do believe that sad things happen to life forms, when that happening is viewed with human empathy. I just think that if we take a step back our understanding of what we're seeing and reacting to changes. It's that damn Buddhist detachment thing again...
