There’s this guy, George Kennedy, and the final surviving Munchkin from the Wizard of Oz, all passing on in the last few days.
It just appears to be a coincidence. There are people who are famous to others, but not to us, and they die on various days too.
We only see rules of threes because we tend to look for them. It is human nature to look for patterns and to try to see them even when they don't actually exist.
What is more sobering is how much of the past is being removed from the present. For some reason I feel a sense of loss whenever another door closes on a past era.
Yep, you are right. We look for these patterns. Somebody mentions it and then lots of people say they found the pattern of celebrity deaths in this manner. After the fact they seem to discover it.
Yes, I hear you, on the passing of eras.
