DO PEOPLE’S LIFE STILL MATTER?

The way people move on after the death of a family or a friend is saddening. It’s a lot to keep up with in my head.

I have seen people’s family die and in the next minutes, they are out on social media ranting. Some behave as if they don’t care.

To me, the reaction of those people shows that life doesn’t mean anything to them.

How do you move on the second day your brother died?

If you can move on so fast, then I doubt who you’ve been to the person.

No time to mourn the deceased.

No time to pay final respect.

In the Bible, we can see how they treat the deceased. They gave themselves time to mourn and honor the person in question, but now, people just move on like nothing happened.

As the day goes by, the way I see relationship drains me, and the truth is, this is not what I bargained for.

Sometimes, I’m forced to believe that the only person that loves me is Jesus.

I know you’ve to move on but moving on immediately after a family or a close friend dies is uncalled-for.

People matter and when they die too, they matter. Can we just accord them a level of respect and honor, especially to people that we say we love?

It’s so sad.
