Death makes you neither good nor bad.

By Lutfi Dervishi

In both Islam and Christianity, the deceased is valued in heaven and not on earth.

Up there, he is given a one-way ticket to heaven or hell, according to the weight of his life.

But on earth, everything seems to work differently. Death makes you neither good nor bad. It does not change the balance of life, it does not turn sins into virtues, nor failures into merits.

And yet, almost every time, death is being used as a moral amnesty: people who throughout their lives have produced conflicts, destroyed relationships, harmed others with their character, violated the law and every moral code, suddenly, as soon as they die, are declared "angels."

 

Society behaves as if death is a golden cap that closes everything, erases every sin, and pardons every crime.

Actually, no. This is a typical case of "mud covering mud".

 

Sincere condolences are for those who leave a void behind.

 

I have often read hundreds of "positive" comments about people who have not only had problems with the law, but have also had problems with the most basic human morality.

 

When it comes to problematic people, silence is more noble than public hypocrisy.

 

Let family and relatives bear their pain in their own peace. They are the only ones to whom the proverb: "I'm dying to love you" does not apply.

There is no need for a spectacle of hypocrisy.

 

Sweet words are worthless to those who have spent their lives poisoning others. 

 

Dante clearly divided the path between heaven and hell, according to the weight of the sins that each one carried from life. Because God does not "weigh" people only at the last moment, but according to the entire path they have taken. Whoever has disturbed/poisoned others throughout their life cannot change their fate with an act of death. With God, the last amnesty does not work; there is no place there for the hypocrisy that we invent on earth.

 

This is the double peak:

Immorality with life, with the choices they themselves have made, immorality with death, because society acts as if nothing happened.

 

It is not death that purifies a person, it is the life they have lived that proves who they were.
