Why things about alive? Even in politics, seems to forgiveness and understanding, are alive, them the lowest degree. There is a saying that people fake their death to see what their funeral would be like, but isn't a foe a foe in life and death?

Why when a person is dying, or actually dead that people say good things about them than when they are alive? Even in politics, people with political differences seems to have that forgiveness and understanding, but when they are alive, we criticized them to the lowest degree. There is a saying that people fake their death to see what their funeral would be like, but isn't a foe a foe in life and death?
I am not "people" who praise the dead. If they were crooks alive then dead they are just the dead who will no longer be crooked.

The concern shouldn't be that we choose to respect them in death but that we persist in disrespecting them in life. Now Stormy is correct that a crook's actions should not be diluted after his death but most of the people that we demean are not deserving of that treatment. But we do it nonetheless because it makes us feel better about ourselves albeit mostly in vanity.
