Eulogy
A piece of art may cost 800, but after the artist died, the value of the piece of art will be 1400. This is not new to us. Surely at some point in your life, you heard about stories like that. Have you ever heard how others speak of a deceased. 98% of the time, its all about, "he's such a filial son", "she's the best student in school". Suddenly, when someone dies, all the quality of that person will be known. Little did we know that, while the person is living, what she has done, what did he went through.
I am wondering, how my eulogy would be? Can you imagine sitting at your own funeral, listening to all your close ones speaking about you-your qualities!! I would imagine, if there is any for me, it would be, "Jeannie was a cheerful and friendly girl. She loves adventure bla bla bla.." I hope (not sure how is this going to be executed) my eulogy would be different, as I feel nobody really knows me, that include myself. Why start listing all the positive qualities about me. It is all just going to make people cry. am i really all that?
I will want to write my own eulogy... hope when that day comes, somebody will find it. Whats new?? Am I not already known for doing all the different things in life?

Beannie, that's a scary posting to be honest. Why on earth are you thinking about your eulogy already? Is this a self-reflection, trying to figure out what people might think of you in order for you to define yourself? Why the urge? Don't rush too fast to your end destination, it's the journey that counts coz going on that journey will enable you to find out who you are. Throughout your life.
Irene dear, no worries, I am not planning my death date. I just want to make sure that there is no sweet talk about myself when i am not around.
