Still, it was ultimately a very kind act –
Bottle opener in mouth seems like a very good (and practical) place indeed –
I add : throw in all the empty bottles (champagne must be included) – then ditch it all in a big dumpster when it’s all over 😉
I think after spending as many years alive as I have (heh) I’ve become practical : about life, about emotions, about death & all things dramatic, sad & over-wrought ….
It is what it is : if death looms (not too far) ahead, handle it quick & try not to make those left behind feel worse for it –
A toast to the empathetic, practical elderly man then !
What film was that from ?
Gracias Dios for the youtubes ….
I do remember that they tried to shield us from morbid events like this, but kids are quite hardy I think, when it comes to handling those early signs that life isn’t a fairy tale at all –
Cremate me, dump the ashes somewhere practical & then party in honor of my ‘livingness’, not my death –
I want nothing special to happen for me, ’cause if I’m gone, I’m gone 😉
I’ve noticed that that tendency toward narcissism (in life) is actually becoming a bit healthier among (many, if not all) people in this modern society (esp. among Liberals, who tend to be accepting of people based on individual character, more than on ‘old family’ credentials).
I can remember in my youth that ‘family roots’, ‘family legacy’ was noteworthy :
Ie : if you came from a ‘good’ family, if your parents, grandparents, ancestors were ‘important’ people, it was generally KNOWN !
There was a tendency to ‘leak’ one’s family jewels, and anyone who came close to being ‘blue-blooded’ or the equivalent, was somehow more ‘of note’ just because of that.
Now, ‘coming from a good family’ is something that rarely comes up, nor should it – to exhibit narcissism for the accomplishments of one’s ancestors is to play on an uneven field.
No matter what one’s heritage is, noteworthiness is deserved for an individual’s character & accomplishment in the HERE & NOW.
The playing field is more level now, than it was even in my youth.
It’s bizarre for modern-day standards alright, but when you think about it, there are still so many rituals that are still commonplace that will someday seem equally Gothic & strange –
I remember prob. the mid-60’s when we were kids, we moved to a large house in New Westminster, Canada – a house that my dad set about remodeling from top to bottom –
In the attic, we found 3 framed pictures very much like the bottom one you posted : 3 different baby photos, all of whom had died, likely of polio, within months of their births. Inside the frames were dried roses – it was sad beyond belief & spooked me for years after ….
A couple of years earlier, I remember the big news in the neighborhood : the house up the street was hosting an open-house, a memorial for their youngest child (who also died of polio), where the casket was open for all to view & give their blessings. My young brothers & I went in & saw the real face of death in a child for the first time – haunting memories, reminding us that in our lives, there’s always that awareness that ultimate death is an integral part of living ….
I always appreciate a post such as this, Q – anything that opens up dusty corners of our psyches is fascinating stuff IMO 😉
I think that’s at the bottom of this badge system, to create a stir, controversy & divisiveness –
Anybody who’s got any class will not want to participate in Huff’s manipulative tactics IMO –
I can remember late, late night skating in Quebec on natural frozen ponds, when it was SAFE for kids to be out ’til all hours for a special night under the stars ….
