Seriously you read about people who die young, and people always pretend to care after they are already dead like “omg, this is so sad, they could’ve acomplished so much, he had a bright future ahead of him! wHaT a tRaGeDy, iF oNlY wE cOuLd’vE FoRSeEn tHiS”…

why didn’t y’all do anything while they were still alive? hypocrites…

    It’s nice to say nice things about people who’ve passed away.

    Like if someone in their 20s passes away, and you’re at their wake after the funeral, you’re not going to say “well I kind of always just tolerated him but he was never going to amount to much and I didn’t really like him”.

        Sure but both you and that pastor clearly understand why saying that to the whole church would not have served any purpose and made you look like an asshole, right?

      Correct. Like what the fuck are people supposed to say? Talk about his search history?

      “He was gonna feel stuck at a dead-end job, burn out in a few years, get hooked on drugs or alcohol or netflix to distract him from the pain of a mediocre existence, and ultimately settle for a life that is much less than the one he dreamed of as a child, just like the rest of us.”

      “DON’T SAY THAT, HE HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL!!!”

      No, you’re not supposed to speak ill of the dead. Doesn’t mean you have to make shit up. I didn’t say a word at my father’s funeral.

        I didn’t say it’s mandatory to say nice things about people who have died.

        I’m sorry your dad was shit.
