Wanted: Dead Or Alive (An answer to a Fishskinfreak2008 querie)

One unfortunate bit of reality is, dead people don't suck as much as when they're warm and alive. If you have any doubt on the accuracy of that statement, first go to the cemetery or memorial park. Spend more or less, an hour and a half there. After which go to the nearest market place. Spend 30 minutes in there and tell me, with the cemetery holding as much dead people as the number of live people the market place holds, how come the dead ones are easier to live with? :)

We honor the dead in almost direct contrast to how we despise some of them when they were still alive because one sad fact is, it sometimes takes a permanent leave for people to realize what they're going to miss.

It's normal to conflict with someone alive, I think one of our basic human nature is to fight for certain rights and hassle for territory. As we move along this journey called life, we can't help but touch some lives in a not so ideal way, in the same way that we can't help but be touched too, in what would seem more like a hard tackle sort of way. These exchanges fuel conflict, hatred, but in my own opinion, nothing more than a competitive reaction. A Game Mode Attitude of some sort. And when the game finally end, the battle comes to a halt. Win or Lose, the mark of a good sportsman is to at least have the courtesy of offering a hand to say "Nice Game". Although being plain, sportsman courteous doesn't take 3 long hours, but that's only because the possibility of being able to play each other again is still in play. On a Eulogy's case however, the next "nice game", will have to wait until the next life.
