death thoughts
i've always wondered what will happen when i died. not being morbid or anything, but i just want to know what people will say about me. and especially during premature deaths, people will have even better things to say about you, because of your unfulfilled potential. can you picture this scene, at my funeral, what will people be saying of me? will they be sad enough to cry? or will they know that i hate to see my friends crying? and what will they remember of me? and in what way will i have influenced their lives?
i realise that at 2 occassions in your life you are most important: your birthday, and your funeral. but you only get to experience one, the less significant one. on your birthdays its like this happens every year, so people may get bored, or they might be unhappy with you for that period of time. but death buries all grudges, especially among friends. death can reconcile friendships, even though it is too late. it is at a death bed where you realise the importance of someone, only after he is gone. like man u n rio, but that's seriously a lousy analogy.
i am really interested to what people i know think of me, though i have a pretty good idea of that. but it is interesting to hear what they will say about you when you're gone, because when you're dead no one will lie about you or hide their feeling about you. you are over. it is alright to comment freely on something that doesnt exist anymore. like after a government falls then people will say what they feel, and analysts and critics can publish book after book with detailed studies, fearing no backlash.
and i wonder what the atmosphere will be like at my funeral. people going there for the sake of going, or to see me for the last time. and what will they be talking about? news, current affairs, gossip or idle chatter? or will they talk about me?
i feel that your funeral sums up your life. whoever you've impacted, whatever you've done, is reflected at that one final moment you have left connecting you to this fallen world, before you rise to meet the Creator. and that moment will let everyone know how you've lived your life. it is to me a report card, that can tell you whether you've passed, or failed. and i hope that when that day comes, i've passed the test of life.
