Could be the reverse; that elsewhere people just don't feel sad or helpless in the same kinds of situations. Like maybe a Japanese song writer might put something like "The girl I love doesn't love me, setsunai", whereas an American songwriter might put...i don't know, "B**** won't love me!" *laughs*

I have this cousin, a few years back he wanted to get married to the girl he loved in college. But the parents of the girl refused unless he dropped his last name to take theirs and come take over the family business. He went to University to become a pharmacist and didn't want to give up his last name. The marriage got cancelled. It was a very setsunai episode in my cousins life.
