I see it as fake love and pretence
Sometimes, I honestly wonder why people suddenly become “good” only after they are gone.
A person could be alive and will not receive genuine love, support, encouragement, or even simple appreciation. Some of the same people writing long tributes today may have once goss'iped about them, insulted them, ign0red them, envied them, or never even checked up on them while they were alive. Yet, the moment d£ happens, social media suddenly becomes filled with emotional epistles about how “kind,” “amazing,” and “wonderful” the person was.
It honestly feels confusing sometimes...
People post their birthdays, achievements, graduations, weddings, businesses, baby dedications, house warmings, or even simple personal moments/pictures everyday, and many barely get acknowledged... Some people don’t even receive a sincere congratulatory message, a phone call, encouragement, or support while they are alive and able to feel it...
But once they are gone, timelines become filled with tears and emojis, lengthy captions, emotional videos, and public displays of love. Some even switch on cameras to cry crocodile tears and post it online. Sadly, the d£ cannot see those fake tears, they can't hear those praises, or feel that love anymore...
So, why do we wait until people are no more before we loudly celebrate them?
Why is it so h@rd to give people their flowers while they are still ali've?
If someone matters to you, appreciate them now. I don't see anything in doing that... Call them, go to them, tell them I love you or you're a nice person or you have done so well, keep going...
Celebrate people while they can still smile and say “thank you.” Speak good of people while they are still here to hear it. Check up on people now, not only when RIP becomes attached to their name....... Because those good things you say about them when they are not here, I believe they were never 100% the way you paint and write about them but you just want to make it look like they're so good just because they have passed.... So you see why its all fake love and pretence because no one can be all the good you write about them.....
