Have you ever stopped taken a step back and just observed people?

I attended a wake this weekend and was observing the people coming and going it is quite interesting to see how different people deal with situations such as grief and how some people think they are helping. I watched as people consoled a grieving widow and as some tried but didn’t have a clue what they were doing and actually made things worse without ever knowing it. I observed as one woman took the widow aside to introduce herself as they had never met before she then spent 15 minutes explaining to her how her and her husband were much better off now and she explained her philosophy of life death and the afterlife to the widow. I watched as the widow held her composure and her tong as the woman who had taken her aside obviously didn’t have a clue about what she was going through or life in general or even tact for that matter. As an observer I just wanted to go up to this woman take her by the arm lead her from the room and say honey you are speaking out of your ass! Come back when you have a realistic understanding of life! But I couldn’t no mater how bad I wanted to! Isn’t it interesting that we as people are the way we are?

Happy Canada Day Eh!
