Why do we cry in despair when someone we love dies?

The material and consumer life we live every day does not allow us to live with intensity, we live an automated life, like a robot; we do a daily routine for survival either to supply our material needs or to satisfy our ego.
And this is what prevents us from seeing our loved ones with their virtues, their experiences and their nature.
The material and consumer life distances us from our neighbor and so we cannot see in them how important they are to us and we do not show it to them because we are simply absorbed by the material life and the social life in the networks.
If we dedicate a few minutes to observe our surroundings, to feel the air we breathe, to see how wonderful a mountain we have in front of us, to see a simple bird or to see how your mother looks alive, strong, healthy or to see your friend smiling so beautifully, with good or bad things but still a friend, if we dedicate more time to our loved ones we will not cry so much when they are gone. Do you know why? Because you spent time with them, you hugged them, you told them I love you, you told them how much they are worth to you, you shared many moments of joy more with them than with your bank account, more than spending a lot of time on a social network.
I think that if people in the world dedicate less time to the material and social life of social networks the world will be a better world because we will be really dedicating time to the human being, and when we dedicate time to that human being he will feel that life has meaning, he will feel that there is no time for suicide, to steal, to kill, to get depressed or to fall into dementia.
For this reason, love, love, hug, smile to your loved ones, take advantage of the fact that they are alive so that your conscience does not make you cry with impotence for not showing them in life that they are worth gold.
