i lost a lot of people in my life, started when i was 15, lost about 22 in the next year, started with my dad, lost both grans, lots of cousins and great aunts, so i learned all the same things as you have, i wish you hadnt have needed to learn it, i lost a good frienda few years back and i learned from him, take pleasure from life, live, experience, he was only 38 when he died.
but he put more life into those 38 years, than a lot of people ever have.
i rarely get angry, its not worth it, (unless people insult my friends of which you are one, or my family), i dont suffer from envy, i dont get upset i have learned to take a step back from things, its saved me a lot of heartache. i try to treat people equally, men and women, black or white, muslims and catholics, unless they turn us into objects of derision.. which is totally wrong.
i am sorry that you had to learn all these things in that way (by losing your mother).
i am always around if you need any help.

Voltaire said: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
H.L.Mencken wrote:"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.â€
