1. We care more for the dead than we do for the living!



2. We spend more to bury a person than we do to save their life.

3. We will not travel to go see a sick relative but will travel to bury him/orher



4. People will rarely respect you while alive but will want to "pay their last respects" to your casket.



5. A person may NEVER receive roses in their entire life but they will get lots dumped on their graveyard!

6. We will spend a night at a neighbour's funeral and it will be our first time to see the inside of their house!



7. No one gives a damn to know your village until you die and they will all fill cars after cars to "escort" your corpse to the same village.



8. We will take the dead to the mosque/temple/church knowing fully well they had nothing to do with worship while alive.



9. We might not have granite tops in our kitchens but use the granite in the graveyard!



10. An entire village might not have a single house with cement floors but the only place with cement will be a graveyard!
