is the time we are on our deathbed. It is the time when our friends will give their eulogy of us, and our enemies shall dance on our grave.
Sounds morbid. In a way, yes. I am in my full mood swing now. Back to the above, it was the perception that was painted by the society today. Just last Saturday the company was organizing a team building session which to me it failed to deliver the expected except the story on the positive vs negative. The trainer show us a memo and requested all of us to chip in 5 comments from what we could derive from the memo. Everyone then share their comments. Each of it was a negative comment. Criticism.
It just reminds me that we have been watching too much of the reality show. Everyone can be a good critics. How about constructive criticism? Well, not all can accept those kind of criticism by the way. So how it relate to the death?
I am lucky enough to be blessed with many mentors along my life. One of my mentors did share his opinion about death. He sells coffin for living. He told me that all these while in his line, when a person dies everyone whom attended the funeral will speak nothing but the good things he had done. Just as I relate to my father’s funeral. My aunts will share the time they grew up together. How dad was the pillar to the family after my grandfather got ill. They kept sharing the things he done. All those words were edifying to us, his children. It was all time positive. Never a single word was a negative one.
Even if there’s a condolence reunion, where by anniversary which everyone gathers around to pay respect there will be only stories about that particular person. Those edifying stories. If I were to die tomorrow, what are those things I will regret in my life for not being able to do and what will my peers and family members says about me?
What I wanted to write for my epitaph?
On this day..
