life's a joke? death's funny?

i just opened my emails that was sent long ago. at the time, my hectic time disallow me to go thru each and every one of them... so when i have tonnes of free time to read and browse at each and everyone of them, i wonder... and wonder... and wonder... is life a joke..? is death a joke..? and i'm still wondering...

among the emails that i received was this gory, bloody, gruesome and horrific scene of a motorbike road accident which happened lately. there were 4 pics to be exact... blood was everywhere, the bike was a total disaster... among the pics showing the body of a guy without the head... the head was chopped off, severed and located a few metres from the body... well just to paint the picture since i'm not really a big fan of all these unpleasant incidents i won't post the pics... the amazing thing about the mails was it was forwarded from a friend of mine... and there was a long list of names which determine the origin of the emails... my name was actually on the 25th level of the long forwarded emails. i guess there would be around a few thousand of people would be looking at the pics by now... some of them put comments before "mass forward" it to their long list of friends again.. and again... and again...

the point that upset me was... some of them just add a few funny comments (to them i guess) and i dont think it's appropriate to put such remarks... i mean it's a tragedy... think about it people... would you like other people to make fun of your death..? "hey, the american dropped a few hidrogen bombs in hiroshima and nagasaki... serve them right (the japanese)" or "the twin tower collapsed and a lot died... well i guess it's about time..."

common sense people... start with yourself. if you don't want other people to say that to you don't say to others. same thing if you don't want others to hurt you, you shouldn't hurt others in the first place... don't start nothing, won't be nothing. thru and thru i've been thinking... i guess they don't mind if others make fun of them when they're dead... i don't want anybody to cry over my dead body as well... but definitely not laughing... if i were to be dead due to whatever cause, i'd be glad if my friend would remember the good things that i've done and learn from whatever misfortunes i had... think about it... how would "YOU" want to be remembered...?
