Why do we wait until people die to tell them how great they are? it sounded tonight in The Last Dance. That particular thought made me wonder. Why is that so? And do they do that when one kills himself? I guess they do that at some funerals, at other’s, relatives might be too mad still to speak a eulogy. But I would like that one would create a eulogy for me, but the thing is, of those invited to my cremation, who shall admit I influenced their life, if any? Will they be sorry I’m dead, or will they be glad since death is what I craved for for so long, will they be happy they got rid of me and will they think they got rid of whatever tormented me altogether?
Why do we wait for people to tell us how great (or how insignificant) we are? Even while we are still alive? What does it take for us to believe in ourselves? Why don’t we just say: I keep on living, or I kill myself, but never mind the istakes I made. If my mistakes were too great, I made them like anybody else. Should I be sorry? Should I feel sorry about feeling sorry about anything? No, because everybody makes big mistakes. If I don’t have any regrets, what’s there to worry about? Peope will remember me as a person without any regrets. Fat chance. We all die. If no-one remembers us, let’s go spook ‘em. Cuz it all depends on us. Ourselves. Cya. At Heaven’s Gates
not gonna waste time answering, i already wrote a post on that
I will certainly claim that you influenced me. Maybe be not “my whole life”, but certainly the way I live. You confirmed some key beliefs that not many out there seem to agree with like we do, namely about life, its purpose if any, love, suffering, rigth to die, and die right. And a large few more. At your cremation I’d be facing people I don’t know or that didn’t understand or even know you, and that would make it rather meaningless for me to talk to them. When you’ll go away I might feel sad on the moment if you did suffer to reach peace, sad because I would miss you, but in the end relieved that you finally would have reached that place where you wanna be and where your current suffering or frustration wouldn’t affect you anymore — or so I do hope, at least !
