Not everything is for everyone, but like it or not some things we all have to go through. Pain is one of those things we all go through even though we may experience it differently. As in love; we all go through it but yet have our own beautiful moments of experience.
I believe the very last thing we all go through is a funeral. While funerals are not for everyone for different reasons, whether it be in attendance as a watcher or in attendance as the main feature, we all have go through one. Funerals can be overly emotioned with sadness and all the wrong words. The two reasons why funerals are not for me. One - Why be saddened? A funeral is not about death but rather a new begining and I as well belive the reason people are saddened is because of selfishness. We ask ourselves "what am I going to do"? We as humans naturaly put the big I in the way of allowing life to continue. The other reason why a funeral is not for me is because words are always placed where they don't belong. For a preacher to say "they are in a better place now" is short of ignorance on the preachers side. He/She has no idea where they are and when they say "he/she is looking down on us now and watching us with smiles" is another phrase being short of ignorance. According to the bible when we die we lay in waiting for the last day and we all will rise together. I for one do not want such blissful ignorance said at my funeral. People play sad songs at funerals and cry out of emotions caused by the thoughts provoked from the music, which would be another reason a funeral is not for me. I have said before and will say until I die. "Whoever plays Amazing Grace at my funeral will die the next day from my hauntings"! I would much rather die in the woods with my body never to be found, but of course I can't be selfish in that matter either. I would want my family to bury me in the way that is pleasing to them.

Well anyway, these are my feelings why a funeral is not for everyone; Agreed or disagreed, while funerals are not for everyone neither are the articles we write.
