Is the death of a beautiful woman more tragic than others?

No, it doesn't matter to me, now, when this guy went, that I felt like a gutpunch.. :\

Let me suggest that the answer is yes: the death of a beautiful woman is more tragic than any other, and this is right and good. Beauty confronts us with the transcendent -- something above and beyond the ordinary routines in life. It can be found in mountains and trees and birds, but of course it is found in certain women as well. When we lose such a woman, we lose twice: we are bereaved of the person, but we are also robbed of that reminder of something higher and better to which we ought to aspire.

This is really well said.
As long as we are talking about adult strangers, the loss of pretty girls bothers me more than any other.

death is always tragic i think, most of all when a good mind goes with it

beauty doesn't last, admire it if you want, nature always wins that battle

Well yeah, but Hallie Berry is maintaining. In regards to the op it’s definitely more tragic than my death, or men in general lol.
