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. |

I think it gives people more of a sense of self-justification when all they say about people is how horrible they were - kind of like "this person deserved to die because of blah blah blah, and I didn't."
And these people, I believe, feel very guilty about the things they've done. So they find a way to release some of that guilt by looking down at those who they feel have been punished. |
