There are some people who even find death romantic, and that’s abysmal. We see it when famous people die and all their fans can think of is taking clips from the cremation grounds and making viral reels out of it with romantic songs.

A romantic approach to life is cool, but being delusional about it is not.

What’s problematic is problematic and not romantic.
