Say good about me while I'm still alive

Great greeting to my wonderful and amazing friends on read.cash platform. I hope everyone is doing good. Happy weekend and do enjoy your day ahead. I wish everyone success through out the weekend.

Today's weather is very bad here in my country. The rain started since yesterday and it's still raining up till now. People are so worried concerning the plans they had for the weekend. I know when it's raining, it's almost disturb everyone but the most special people that are complaining about the rain are the traders and the famers. They are the most people that rain really disturbs. How is the weather today in your own place? do you have a good and favorable weather or is it raining?

People are really good in telling about the good things that people did when that particular person is no more. When the person is still alive you wouldn't hear of people praising him. It will be when the person is death that is when you will start hearing people saying oh why him. Why is he the one that died. It's doesn't suppose to be the one that died. Once I was working in my workshop and a lady came to meet with her friend. When they met each other they started gisting like some other friends would do. In their gisting they were talking about the death of someone and how the person was so good to them and both to the society. And I couldn't just keep quiet when I heard what they were saying.

I asked the other lady if it is not the man that suppose to died is it you that suppose to die and it would be nice? And they say no God forbid it can't be me that suppose to die. Then I asked them is it only when a person dies that his good did would be heard in the society. When would someone's good did would be heard when the person is still alive? I think one of them reply that even when someone's good did is said when the person is still alive that people will not carry it around just like they will carry that of the death person around. They said that most people do say good things about other while those people are still alive but it will be very hard before the good words which people talk about people go close to them.

This is very rampart in my country. When someone's burial is conducting people would be inviting to come out and say one or two words concerning the death person. And most people would come out and form words that doesn't really resemble the lying corps. A lot would just come out to entice the belief family and some other relatives. They would be praising the death person even when what they are saying isn't the truth they will still say it. If the person wasn't good they will say that it was good. To me I think that people suppose to be praising those who are still alive rather than praising the death. If we keep saying good words about the death people even when they were not good what profit do we gain.

They are still people in the world that do not take no for an answer. They are still people who will say the truth even when you are alive or death. I would prefer that people should say good thing about me when I'm still alive. Most people will always donate gift during the funeral and if you want to look deeply into it, it could be they didn't give out to the death person while he was alive. They are just giving just for eye service. Most people give base on eye service than ordinary gift. People will give people may be a car or a piece of land and before you know they will take out photographs and posted it on social media just for people to see that they are the one who give you those items. An elderly man once told the children that if they can't say good words about him while he is alive. Then they should forget saying it when he is death.

He said if people can't offer him gift now that he is alive that the children shouldn't accept any gift on his behalf that the person isn't giving to him but to those who are alive. I would also like people to say good about me while I'm alive not when I'm no more that people will start telling people about how I was good and nice to them.

Thanks for stopping by; I really appreciate your time.
