Coping

how does one cope for something they know they are supposed to be coping?

bad things happen to everyone, its inevitable. they happen to good people, to bad people. it can be as simple as a paper cut, to slipping up the stairs, saying the wrong thing and looking like a doofus, to getting in a major car accident, or even dying. people may or may not feel sorry or sad about the event while others may feel much grief and have to find a way to cope with the idea. but how do those who do not sorrow cope, or at least have the appearance of coping? this is what i am trying to figure out. i don't feel guilty for not being sorrowful as it is entirely not my fault, so maybe i should just not worry about it...but i feel that as a human being i am obligated to i just don't know how.

i don't think i'll sweat it out any longer, i'll just be done with the "coping"and hope for the best for that person.
