Why is it when someone dies, people will start crying and saying that," I should have done this and that when he/she is still alive......blah, blah." Why can't actions be done while that persons are still alive? Is it so difficult to show your love, respect and etc...... I have observed many time that people tend to forget about their love ones until they are gone.... What are your say?

i think that's often the mistake of us..we tend to take for granted the people around us thinking they would be with us forever.. but when times come they are gone, we would just end up the feeling of guilt.. asking ourselves all the why's and what if's we could possibly think.. i think its a leason we really should learn. we should not let a single day pass by without saying thank u and sorry to all people concerned.

Yeah, I know. This question keeps coming in my mind and I do tell this to everyone that they don't realize the value of a person when they are right infront of you. But when they realize, it will be too late. From these incidents at least we should learn to show respect and love to whom we really love, rather than repenting later.

Hello I have found this same thing alot. I try to do what I can everyday to help everyone and I make sure to call people that I don't see to make sure they are alright. I find online especially on myLot there are many opportunities to reach out to others that might need a kind word. Anyway I agree. R

That's because we are most of the times centred around our own problems forgetting that others too have problem either similar to us or more profound. Little understanding and little patience will help avoid such situation.
