Why weep?

Weep not for the one who sleeps
Weep for the one who doesn't
Weep not for the one who dies
Weep for the one who doesn't

When a person close to you dies, that's when the real test happens! It's weird that both so called 'practical minded' & 'philosophical minded' people can handle adversities well - though both categories appear to be poles apart. That only points to the fact that philosophy (reality) is indeed practical!!!

"That only points to the fact that philosophy (reality) is indeed practical", Amen!

When Yudhisthira was asked by Yamraj (I think) about what he found most amazing about life, the former mentions that its how a person cries for the dead without actually feeling that he'd die one day too!
