Grief/tragedy/sympathy/hope industry

A cynical industry where you hear the same kinds of stories and lines over and over to the point that it's a joke that isn't funny (the false hope and optimism sky is going to fall again tomorrow industry).

Person that survived storm- As long as nobody gets hurt, I don't care if I lose everything else.

Grief/tragedy/sympathy/hope industry Reporter- That sounds convincing.

5 years later after recovering from loss of loved one the person gets to thinking and it hits them- As horrible as it makes me sound, too horrible to put on TV, though nothing will hit as hard as me losing a loved one or an animal, I really do miss that couch and TV, even if I got another one. It sounds inhuman of me, and yet deep down anyone else would miss their shit at times if they lost it, even if they didn't tell anyone that they did. If they didn't miss their shit, they wouldn't get a house to put it in, but if they did get a house and wouldn't miss their shit, they'd live in an empty house, since nothing would be sacred there. If people are being honest with themselves and true to life, they also miss material things even if they miss the living things more.

Sympathy

Something you don't have for somebody you never met before. You don't care about somebody you never met, because you don't even like somebody you never met.

You have to have met somebody at least once to even know if you like them, let alone feel any other way about them. You don't feel sympathy for a guy you don't even know, and if you say you do, no matter what you tell everyone else, there is no deceiving yourself about the matter, no matter how desperately you try. George Floyd's trial has become people that never even met the guy pretending to feel things nobody would feel for somebody they never met, if they were honest with themselves.

sympathy grind

To temporarily receive a lady's favor for several seconds before she departs, laughing.

Getting a sympathy grind turned him off to clubs forever.
