I'm going to pose a scenario...
This guy lived his life as a loathesome prick; a complete and total ***hole. He dies young in a car accident. Why do people, all of sudden, talk about how nice, amazing and friendly he was after he died? Dying doesn't make you a better person. |

Yeah I get what you mean. There was a guy who went to my high school and died after getting stabbed, and on the news they talked about how he was a such a nice guy and great student who was on the Honour Roll. I mean, he was nice and generally a good guy, but TBH he was way more likely to be dealing drugs during third period than getting A's in class. And how often do people on the Honour Roll get stabbed?! So why even mention his academic record?
Death is hard on the families and they should be respected, but qualities they just didn't have shouldn't be made up to glorify them. On the other hand, it's not exactly a good idea to talk about their negative qualities after their death. |
