Human beings celebrate everything, a new child, a new year, a new job, a dead relative, the birth and death of a child born thousands of years ago. We even celebrate boobs which I'd s very noble cause. The point I'm trying to make is we celebrate everything.
Right now, I'm in a bus full of people going to pay our respects to the grandfather of one of our colleague but most of us are just going there to eat if we are really being honest.
You would think mourning the dead would make people quiet but these people are shouting and laughing at the top of their voices. One might think they had something to do with the man's death.
There's going to be a lot of crying today I suppose, death can be tough on anybody. I can guarantee there'd be crying if I don't see food to eat, I'm very emotional when I'm hungry. I once cried because I didn't have chicken to eat with my food, that's the last time I'm dinning with vegetarians.
They say I lack emotions sometimes, that's actually one of the reasons I'm going with them today, to show them I actually care about something, food, lots of it.
They also say I'm bad at consoling people mostly because they don't know me. I'm very good at consoling. I find someone who's crying and get them to tell me what made them cry. After listening to them for 10 minutes, I go, "Would you like some sand?". Maybe I can't help them solve their problems but I sure can make sure they never lack sand.
It's good we celebrate these things, life, death, a new baby, boobs, especially boobs because if we don't, we might actually spend our time trying to cure cancer or discover the fountain of youth.
I suppose God or the big bang, whichever side you're on, did a good thing by giving us death. Imagine if humans could live forever, I can alphabetically name a few things that could go wrong starting from Adoh Hitler. I would've have no problem with it, I'd get to live forever which isn't so bad for the world.
The only other people that would be affected are the young women who marry an old rich guy hoping they die so they can inherit everything, not in a million years hon.
I have to go now, I hear the food is finishing and we're not even half way there yet, driver, step on it!!!
