I agree with Bob. Most of the elements in our lives in the west are in other cultures. Opposition and adversity take other guises, but they are the same. The prizes are different, but the competition and games are the same. See Shakespeare.
I do wonder, sometimes, if we face more change than many other cultures. Since change is a threat, we may have a stressed out society because of that.
I'm sorry for your loss, Jay. We change communities so much that we lose parts of the grieving process. The world keeps going around us and the people around don't all know and observe the process, too. I think our community's acknowledgement of our loss is incomplete and we are left holding something by ourselves too quickly.
On a small note, I think your meant 'courage' where you wrote 'bravado'. (?) Bravado is a false show of bravery.
