Since I will be busy at the wake this week, I should be doing something more constructive than blogging when I have time to spare.

But apparently, I am not. HAHA..

I am still pondering over the question of whether my uncle’s death was a matter to be depressed about or it should be viewed more optimistically. Well my uncle is a Buddhist/ Taoist, correct me if I am wrong but it should be that, for them a good man goes to heaven. Even if he doesn’t, the netherworld’s life is viewed to be about the same as the living world since people burn “houses”, “cars” and all sorts of things for the dead.

Since death isn’t equivalent to suffering for a good man, then it only voices down to the reason for the death. Definitely people have negative feelings towards suicide cases because we felt that it’s similar to murder. I guess it’s whether the death is natural or unnatural and whether we believed the person to have much unfulfilled matters. If the person have much unfulfilled matters in our view (e.g. premature death) or it’s an unnatural death, we will feel sorry for the person.

For my uncle, he had 3 children and out of the 3, only 1 is married. So perhaps, he might be worried for them. Then and again if you view it from another angle, all his children are grown-ups and they can take care of themselves well so that shouldn’t be an unsettling matter for my uncle. That’s my guess.

Actually, I don’t want to think of his death as a negative event although it’s sudden. It may be bereaved for my cousins and us but to him, maybe he doesn’t have much matters left in this world that he would desperately need to complete. My assumption again.

Maybe it’s my self-deceiving thought but I just want to think of it as he could finally reunion with his wife who passed away last year and that he doesn’t have much unfulfilled matters.

I hope I am right.
