Why are you sorry

Talking about this kinda stuff is always so interesting no matter how many times its discussed.
I remember talk about feeling connected to the Titanic before, I feel this way abouut Ned Kelly

I can't work out why, or what the connection is but whenever I'm around something to do with him (for instance if I go to the town he lived in and view all the historic things etc) I get so excited, warm and fuzzy, tear up etc...
