Paul Walker dead?

[ViperSRT3g]

But, why linger more than a moment? Did you actually know him? Did he spend Christmas with you every year? I guess I'm just weird in that, if I didn't know someone and they died then it doesn't really affect me.

This somewhat large of a read can maybe explain to you why it's such a big deal to some people.

For those of you saying "Paul Walker was just an actor. Think about all the other people who died today as well."

Just an FYI before you get unfriended. Yes, he was an actor who died. Yes, he was a famous person who is getting so much recognition because of his roles in movies. Yes, all the other people in the world who died also need recognition. We, as car people, know these things.


You are probably saying that so easily because you don't understand the role he's had in so many people's lives. If you aren't into cars, it can be even easier to say and dismiss people as being shallow for mourning the loss of an actor.


But, Paul Walker was a true car enthusiast. He loved and lived it inside and outside his movies. He inspired millions around the world, giving them hope and dreams to strive for. Yes, the majority of those people probably had no direct contact or a relationship to him. But the amount of recognition he's getting, he deserves.


I hope you've read this all the way down to here so that I can tell you. Your easy dismissal of a person's death is the equivalent to dismissing my own hopes and dreams of what I can strive for and achieve in life. His death doesn't put him above any other person who's died, and it is that aspect, that you have so easily forgotten.
