Is it bad that I don’t care about my coworker’s dying mother?

[Anonymous]

Look I am very sorry that her mother is dying of cancer, but I just don’t care about her problems. I have my own shit to worry about. I don’t know her that well so why should I give her sympathy and hug her? If she wants to cry, cry outside of work or to her loved ones. Everyone of us is going to die okay. The blunt truth is death is part of life and we aren’t going to be on this planet forever! We need to accept it as part of life even though none of us wanna accept it. She kept crying and I just stayed away from her. I just kept going with my day. My friend gave her a huge hug but I stayed apart from her and wouldn’t look at her and continued to talk to my friend after that girl walked off. I didn’t bother to respond when she said good morning. Truth is she gives me bad vibe. I’m not in the mood of sadness. Not trying to be a bitch but I’m just being honest.

I’m not going to let her crush my positive day with her crying about her dead mother. She needs to go visit her! I flat out told her that I didn’t care and she needs to cry to someone that is a relative or close friend. I’m going to go on with my day and life my life and should I feel guilty? Absolutely not.

That’s cruel and harsh. Another person out for themselves.

You’re a shallow and callous person. Dying naturally at old age is one thing, suffering cancer is quite another. You don’t have to hug her or wipe her tears but ignoring her greeting you in the morning is pathetic

Oh, you don’t have to try to be a bitch. It just comes to you naturally.

I haven’t read such a conceited post for a fair while.

Well I’m just being honest. I don’t sugarcoat things. I don’t know her very well so why should I give the same energy as her loved ones! I don’t HAVE to care.

The functionality of a civil society involves a degree of empathy and care towards others. If everyone was just a selfish bitch, civilisation would turn hostile.

Things like not even acknowledging someone when they say hello are pure insolence. I’m glad I don’t have to work with people like you.

You're a dick

Well I disagree. I am sorry that she’s going through but I don’t wanna hear her crying all the time. It’s going to be worse when her mom dies. Death is part of life so why cry about it when we know we’re going to die someday? She better stay away from me! I don’t have to care.
