death!

Okay, so wats the deal with how people treat death?  How come when somebody dies, everyone acts like the person was so much better in everything than they really were?  Why is death such a taboo subject?  I just don't get it.

Like if someone dies that you never got along with, why should you act like they were a good friend to you?  And why is it considered sooooooooo bad to say "I never liked the person, it doesn't really bother me that they died."  I mean its different when you say that you want someone to die, i'll admit that that's a little extreme, but why do you have to act like its such a loss?  If you ask me, it's a little demeaning to the person.  Contort their legacy that they willingly shaped for themselves while they were alive.  Don't make them out to be so much nicer than they really were.  Its no wonder suicide rates are so high, people think that everyone will at least pretend to like them better when they're dead.  And apparently, they'd be right. Just some food for thought.

And why is it so weird to say "Oh yeah, they died." I mean, people act like a natural disaster struck.  A person died, that's all.  It happens every minute.  Everyone dies.  Give me a break, its just death.  Not that serious unless their death was a personal loss to your life.  And while you're contorting their legacy, why don't you ad on to it your selfishness of not wanting them to leave your life.  As if their death was more important to your life than their own.  But whatever, its a touchy subject.
