The agony of a dead asshole
A guy I used to work with, who was a couple years younger than I, just died from cancer. I didn't like him. He was honestly an ignorant, self-important prick. And Facebook is exploding with condolences for this opportunistic asshole.
and all I can think is.....

I love your honesty. I hate the hypocrisy you normally see after someone passes. All of a sudden they were the greatest human being and everyone loved them.
I choose to say nothing at all. But if asked...

Describes about half of the commanders I worked under.
Didn't know what my job was, what I was doing, didn't want to know, but I should do more and faster.

I have trouble fabricating a fondness for someone that passes that I didn't like when they were alive. It's not a bad thing.

Exactly. Has nothing at all to do with forgiveness or compassion, it's about not being full of crap and crying crocodile tears over someone who was not a nice or a good person.

the only time they make you smile is when they pass on.

I see nothing wrong with your thought process. It's not like you are calling his family to tell him what you thought of him while he was here.

There comes a point in your life when you realize:
Who matters, Who never did, Who won't anymore... And who always will. So, don't worry about people from your past, There's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.
