Do It When Deemed Best

Why do humans mostly acknowledge and regard the contributions or the worth of another person only when he/she is gone? We criticise and accuse the person throughout their lifetime for the things they have created, for the works they have done and contributed and the achievements they have made for the betterment of the world community. But now that they are gone, we surely have the guts to say he/she was a good human being, and honor them with post humus glories.

What? It could have been better, had they been praised and honoured while they were well and alive. After all those years of criticisms, we come up with a noble idea to speak praises over their parted soul.

Is this the reason why we call ourselves human? Being humane to deceased souls; when all their years of hard work and tireless dedication has been marked-up with criticisms and allegations?

I have heard of people who have been honoured and decorated after their demise; when they cannot hear the sounds of praises made about them by the same people who were their competitors and accusers, of which some of them are known publicly, while some only by their close associates.

Well, then if that is not so humane, let us start off by doing the humane way eh? Let us remember that, it is always better to acknowledge and praise the other person when he/she has the entire faculty and capacity of knowing what you are doing, than just to be doing the same, over a cold and lifeless junk. Yes, it is already a junk! Though he may be the President, when he is dead, he is not anymore. The praises are just for those who attend such rituals to hear. Had the person been alive that time, he/she must have been the happiest person in the world!

Let us also realise that, it is much better to do something for a person when that person sees and feels it. What a humane way it would standout to be, if humans encourage one another when there is still air in our lungs, our hearts pumping, and our brains still working to be able to infuse all that wonderful feeling.

When you are in the capacity to do that wonderful act, why wait for the other person to drop dead, then only  you start to think of doing all that rituals?

Let us remove bias, pride and prejudice from among us, and stop being hypocrites.

Let us be doers!
