Is it Worse When Good Looking People Die Young.?

Do you ever hear these kinds of things said when someone dies 'prematurely'.

Oh my God that's shocking and she was such a beautiful girl too.

It's a terrible loss and he was such a handsome, strong, fella godblessusandsaveus.

It's as if when those who have won the looks lottery at birth die prematurely it's even more tragic. I mean it's not as if people say 'well she was kinda fat and had those ugly feet so, you know, it's not so bad that she died young'! Or, 'he was kinda small and he had that awful big nose so he's probably better off now bless'im'!

Why do people talk as if it's worse when someone who's good looking dies young?

It's a load of bollocks really isn't it?

The Sindo obviously thought so when Katy French died

If she was from a different area and background the Sindo would have called her a drug abuser and junkie

Stop being so self conscious OP, you look grand.

LOL, have often thought that myself. People can be so shallow.

However, if not beautiful looks-wise, you hear 'she had a beautiful heart'.

I think James Dean would have liked to have lived a bit longer than die at 23 years of age .

In the words of Blondie '' die young ,stay pretty '' .

or the Who '' hope I die before I get old '' .
