I cried for Anakin Skywalker at the end of Star Wars Episode III...but not for the tsunami victims.

I can relate to this postcard. I didn't actually cry for either party. but I still felt a stronger emotional connection to what happened to Anakin than I did the Tsunami victims. I know where the author is coming from. The text obviously states that the person cried for Anakin but not for the Tsunami victims. There are implicit claims as well. I think that there in an implication that the person feels bad about this. They are also making a claim about the human race in general. I beleive the person knows that they are not alone. I felt kinda bad after reading this, but I know why it happens. The Tsunami victims are just another face on the news. We actually know Anakin's story though. Its the difference between a friend and somebody that you see around the halls once in a while but you don't know there name.
