People are downvoting you because you are offending them

That IS part of the discussion

You will have an easier time answering your own questions, when you don’t rationalize away all the downvotes

I’m not being facetious, I’m being direct and honest

Someone very important to possibly billions of people passed away. He was an image of many core human concepts (sports, strength, courage, etc). And many people look up to people like Kobe for strength

I’m not sure why you are coming to THIS specific thread to seek assistance for learning human empathy, but this isn’t the time or place to do so

All you need to understand is that humans form connections to many things, and they aren’t always like how you form yours – everyone is different. Wisdom and life experience will grant you the ability to “step into another’s shoes” to empathize with them

I never really played basketball, I don’t really care about team sports tbh, but Kobe dying still struck me because of all the facts I just mentioned

Cheers
