It's funny how much you begin to care about fictional characters, about people pretending to be what they aren't, because that's all actors are really - very good liars. You cry when Jack dies in Titanic, tears drip down your cheeks when Simba's father dies and when Tom Hank dies in Philadelphia your world darkens for just a few minutes. It's silly really, they aren't real, their heartbreak and hardships don't really happen and after it all you can just switch over and pretend it never happened.
But still. They do matter, don't ask my why but they do.
I think that's a really good thing. That we, humans that is, are capable of caring so much about something that isn't even real. That just the idea of somebody going through so much pain is capable of bringing us to tears. I hope we never lose that side to us, humankind. Makes up for all the shit we put this world through.
