I find it interesting, when people are more respected and acknowledged after they die as opposed to living - silencereveals
I was scrolling through my instagram feed and I saw someone post a picture of themselves with their grandma with the typical caption "RIP". Then the person wrote about how their grandma was such a wonderful person, an inspiration to them. How they 'genuinely' feel sad. Then people commented with sad faces, giving their condolences.
My question is, why do people post or express sadness when someone dies? Why not do a random post or status with a picture of your loved one and say nice things while they're alive. And I don't just mean on social media. When someone dies; someone's parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles or a friend, people feel strong remorse. Some regret, with the thought that 'if only I did this for them while they were alive'. Some people remorse with the thought that if only I realised the person's true worth before they left the world.
Understand the people around you. Show affection, talk to those you've stopped talking to. Show that you care. Do it before its too late. Because then, when its late and they've gone, you'll have nothing but regret in your heart. Your heart will feel heavy and your mind will be full of 'what ifs'.
Look at the people around you and make a difference...
