i can't say about celebs death
but for others, i think that when they are alive, we take them for granted, and often their importance is understood only after their death

I guess it is just 'politically right' to say the good things since the person is dead already and there is really no point in saying bad things about the person. Perhaps, we can say they 'forgive' the dead? And yet it can be a simple fact that some people take others for granted and treated them like shit ... until they are gone and they start to regret and saying they should

I was actually quite shocked after MJ's death. I had not seen anyone talking about his songs for a long time..he was made fun of by everyone..and then suddenly after he passed away people were doing posts on him, talking about their fav songs of his, changing their FB status with 'a loss to the industry' yada yada..
And that left me wondering if I was the only one who felt like

Totally agree to this post. I too think people are such great pretenders. Probably they don't want to appear in a bad light or maybe they realise O mi Gawsh I dont want people to talk ill of me so lemme spread the good word so even if nothing I will be remembered as someone who spoke well of the dead...or better i think it's because they realise they are going to have to face those people

I agree....I too have seen a lot of ppl like that

Maybe people are regretting the fact that they treated the dead like crap when the lived so they chose to glorify them after death!

Coming to the Eulogy clip by the Chasers,
I had seen this clip during the Apec stunt time.Hilarious!.Although I found it a bit too..y'know...but I love this recital by the surprise spruiker guy!Haha the part at the last where he speeds things up,

I agree completely with you! I have thought the exact same thing... multiple times. And after much internal debate, i think I've come up with an answer. It's a question of respect, I think. You know how people say 'Don't talk ill of the dead?' It's the same thing I guess. Respect or superstition makes people talk only nice things about people when they die. Maybe they'

It is like this. When you put down your papers; then only people say good things about your work; until then it is all gray and opportunity to work on. LOL

2009-12-21T19:21:17.434+11:00

I liked what Titaxy said there..what we should do basically? Looking at good qualities and learning from them..Now about why people do it, death is terrible, there is nothing more terrible than that..i read some months back an article about why one should mourn death, because if we dont, we will become like the worst animals..i take it as a part of evolution..may be you can tell us more about it

@ Elizabeth: Welcome! I'm so with you! I wondered about that after MJ's death...how everyone forgot the child molestation accusations! What next? OJ Simpson dies and everyone hails him and forget the murder accusations??

2009-12-21T18:07:33.177+11:00

Nice thoughts...I was never a MJ fan and was surprised by his sudden popularity after his death...People became nostalgic and began to listen to his songs and that made them even more nostalgic. In the middle of all this, they somehow forgot all the accusations of child abuse and substance abuse raised against him

Hehe...yep...let's just be nasty because we are go...

2009-12-21T17:42:46.249+11:00

Hehe...yep...let's just be nasty because we are going to be held up on a pedestal after death. :)

2009-12-21T16:50:41.214+11:00

lol...nice song :D...it's all true, yet we just chose to ignore the facts and make them all heroes once they are gone. makes me wonder what's the point in being nice then? if everyone i know is gonna worship me when i'm gone no matter what good or bad things i do now. only personal gratification, i guess

2009-12-21T16:44:01.257+11:00

@ Titaxy: Yep you're first! :) I had thought of posting immediately after MJ's death as well...but didn't. Thought it might be too soon. :p You're so right! We do bitch about people when they are alive and then do the opposite when they die. No sense at all. What did you think about the Chaser's Eulogy Song, by the way?

yay me first :D

2009-12-21T16:38:51.330+11:00

2009-12-21T16:38:26.203+11:00

why not just be plain nice to people and identify their good qualities when they are alive? when someone is around we bitch about what is wrong with them, we forget to appreciate them for the nice things they do (no matter how less), and then once they are gone we look back and forget how awful the person was and highlight only the nice qualities and make them heroes...what's the logic there?

2009-12-21T16:32:33.977+11:00

i am with you...

i had thought about posting something similar when MJ's death was all over the place...i didn't get it...even people who didn't like him started praising him and such...i only kept myself from doing a post because i was afraid (Yea i'm a sissy, whatever) of offending people.

anyway, i don't get it either...
