Sometimes a person has to be dead a while before people can appreciate what they did when they were alive.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I tend to admire dead people more than the living. All too often, human reality diminishes the glowing reputation.
I wanted to acknowledge that life goes on but that death goes on, too. A person who is dead is a long, long story.
Someone who is about to die does not mourn the dead.
It's funny how most people love the dead, once you're dead, you're made for life.
There's something about death that is comforting. The thought that you could die tomorrow frees you to appreciate your life now.
Just because someone's dead doesn't mean it's over. My grandfather died more than 25 years ago, but I still think of him a lot and smell his smell.
It is only in the light of the inescapable fact of death that a person can adequately engage and enter upon the mysterious fact of life.
People can have a variety of concerns at the same time. Even those undergoing grave or traumatic experiences will acknowledge the need for lightness or even entertainment.
Some people, when they die, leave so much life behind that we wonder how they did it.
There are few things more fundamentally encouraging and stimulating than seeing someone else die.
