Alright serious topic and i know that it is a inbred human characteristic that we all have and feel whenever we lose someone. but i have a question about this, is mourning wrong? the bible often says that jealousy is a sin. and well is mourning pretty much the same thing as jealousy? i mean in my opinion it is. we are pretty much jealous that our family member is now in heaven. and well i think that sometimes that mourning can be a bad thing once it goes to far, and alot of the times this does happen. whenever you lose someone you go through the time of mourning for your lost one and well some people exceed this a little long. you find them going into a depression, or a period of long sadness, and yes this is a bad thing. mourn for the lost but also be happy that they have gone to be with god [hopefully]. so pretty much the question is, is mourning wrong? or is it a purely normal thing that is alright?
god has several rules and well how far do we take it? do we just expand it to everything and guess if things are right or wrong?
Yoda (star wars) “Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not. Attachment leads to jealously. The shadow of greed, that is.” and that makes you think
I think the jealousy Yoda is referring to is a jealousy of others who have a relationship with that person. Mourning, in my opinion, is being sad that you don't have that person in your physical life any more. I do think it can go too far and be wrong because if you let it go on then you are not trusting God. You are becoming obsessed with the person who is gone instead of living with the people in your life.
