Jordie --
I think we feel sorrow or joy in the face of loss because of who we are,
and ascribing our reactions to social conditioning is a bit off. I do
agree that the NA ritual of grief as descrbed in your post is indeed
banal and shallow, but that's a reflection of the lack of consciously and
intelligently developed ritual in our society, a lack we experience
because we live in a society that disregards and considers taboo
"societal conditioning..."
