My people why is it that whenever someone dies,everybody will be saying very good things about the person. In some cases,the person must have lived an examplary life but in other cases, not even close. I'm also guilty of this because I usually dont say something bad about a dead person(feels like disrespect to the dead). Also I feel that the bereaved will think you're insensitive if you show any type of disapproval of the persons behaviour while alive. Please share your thoughts/experience |
