Death……And other Happy Subjects.
I know a lot of people are not going to like this post. I know a lot of people are going to think a lot less of me. But what the hell. I really don’t care anymore.
A co-worker of mine passed away this weekend. This particular co-worker and I never saw eye to eye. We never really even liked each other. And right now, since I am acting as a supervisor, I have to deal with getting all of the paper work taken care of. It is a serious pain in the ass. And this particular employee has been a pain in my ass for a number of years. And she has been this way for a number of people up here.And as disgusting as this sounds there are a number of people up here who are glad she is gone. I am not saying that anyone is happy that she has passed away. No one is happy about that.
And it got me to thinking. Is that the way I am looked at? Will I be missed? Will people care that I am gone? Will there be grieving or celebration?
And the more I think about it, there are some that will be happy I am gone. Their life would be easier without me around. And yes, there are probably a few that will even be happy that I am dead.
I guess what I have to figure out NOW is what do I do with this revelation????
No….I am not thinking about suicide………..
Just because someone passes away doesn’t mean you have to suddenly like them. They lived their life the way they wanted and that is all you can remember them by. Sure it’s not pleasant when another human being dies, but you shouldn’t feel guilty if you feel relieved that you don’t have to see them on a daily basis. I admire your honesty, and so should everyone else.
