I find his post very repulsive.. like he has some remedy for death .sounds like a killer .. or like someone who has taken a life .... ... If I was a police and Some spoke like this arround me it's enough reason for me to investigate him .. very dark soul

So if an overestimated sense of importance is all you see in ALL the dead people's post, does that now mean that when YOU die (which we know that YOU will most definitely die and your corpse will look like you described too) someone else will also go through your profile and see your own over bloated sense of importance as well?

The de@d don't give a Bleep about you and what you think. It is you who is here posting BS about the de@d like you are immune to de@th that is bothered about whether or not they lived like every other HUMAN BEING.

I don't understand your thought process o, so all this dead people all have pride or is it just your take
Nobody knows tomorrow and everybody is just living, dont feel too important because you yourself will die too and you wont know when
It Is human nature to want to look good so why are you saying their corpse is there real self when they it is a lifeless body and their soul and whatever makes them a person is long gone

I don't know if he expects people to start looking like corpse when they're alive so that they will project a sense of humility and representing their true nature.
I think that guy has some mental problem. Who goes on mocking the dead and feeling clever over it ?

@OP you need deliverance for real, this is not a joke or me trying to take a cheap shot at you. This is this kind of thinking that produces psychopaths. Maybe you work at the morgue or you do some kind of anatomy job on dead people, that would explain why you get to see alot of deadbodies and also get thier bio data to check the life they lived. Please whatever it is that make you have access to dead bodies leave it, even if it's your job. It obviously affecting you, because from your write up there is a sense of satisfaction you get seeing lifeless and helpless dead people who were living well before they died untimely. Get help before you become a serial killer.

A lot of crazy assumptions you are making about me just from a philosophical post.

Rather that use this post as a torch to inspect the flaws in your perception of life, you'd rather use it to find perceived flaws in me.

I didn't disrespect anyone. I didn't even mention any names.

If you think my post sounded stupid, you are entitled to your opinion, but I seriously doubt that any reasonable, thoughtful person would read my post and consider it stupid.

You think like a psychopath who believes people are not supposed to live a happy life simply because life is hard and death is inevitable.
You obviously have a psychological problem and it's beginning to go deep inside of you that if care is not taken, it will lead you into trouble.

When people die, the idea is to understand that it's important for us to do what makes us happy when we are alive. Because whatever happens after death is inconsequential. So, you now snooping around the pictures and life history of the dead trying to make mockery of them, is just displaying some psychopath behavior.

Life is all we have. We have the right to do what we like when we are alive.
Lastly, some thoughts should be left in your mind. Thoughts such as this.

It depends on our perspective. Death is inevitable. I wonder why people place death as a justification for the reason why a person should live a humble life.

Be humble because of it's moral values and possibly rewards. Not because of death.

You have no power over what so ever is done to your body after death.

We will all die. How we lived is what matters. If only that those who live humbly will not die, then it will make sense that those who lived arrogantly can be judge by death.

You're absolutely right. This reminds me of that book, "As a man thinketh"

there is nothing philosophical about your diabolical behavior of going around posts of dead people just to compare their pictures while alive and their corpse while dead.

You snoop around their pictures trying to give yourself a reason to judge them. From my observation of you as a person, I think you're living a horrible life and therefore expects everybody to live just like you. However, whenever you see people who are better than you, you feel threatened..

I was once like you. You should see a therapist or read plenty self help books. Cos you're gradually sinking into a deep ocean of bitterness and cold heartedness.

The guy is crazy. He clearly has some psychological problems.. someone like him thinks of killing people for being happy because he himself is not happy.

I was picking sense to what you submitted until the part you said they behave like they have God on speed dial. Let me sort one thing for you, there is a level of respect I give myself, and a level of dignity I hold dearly simply because I have strong faith in God that he won't fail me. In your canal view, you think death is the end of everyman. Let me tell you, the only reason you mock them is because you're ignorant of the life after earth. Have you asked yourself what if perhaps, God took them because he has a different assignment for them in another world, country, place, state, family? or what if God took them because he has a special task for them? or what if God took them because he just want them to rest?

Literally everyday I visit the frontpage of Nairaland or browse through Facebook or twitter, I see a post about someone that died along with their "graphic photo" and full names.

People die everyday and no one has the courtesy anymore to give them some privacy, hence why they post the pictures of their corpses along with their full names like they were some cheap livestock being put up for sale.

So what is your point exactly? People should post gloomy photos of themselves on social media to reflect the fact that they'll die one day? A lot of people post the best parts of their lives as a way of feeling good about themselves. I don't do that but I don't see any problem with that, it's their life their social media. If you have a problem with people's glowing social media photos, then you have a big problem! Better go and work on your mentality and stop arguing blindly

Whether you are humble or proud, whether you hide or not, rich or poor, wise or foolish, none of that matters, we all will die.
It is a natural process, at some point in life you are going to die too OP.

This hit deep man.

This is why humility is important. There was a top northern politician that died during covid. Don't wanna mention his name. I compared his official photos with his corpse.

He was just dumped in a grave that looks like a slum yard. It was so shameful to see. I mean, this brother is a dignitary. But nope, at that point, he was just treated like a bag of cement.

These are things people need to think about, to be humble. Being proud is a fool's glory. Death humble us all. Death is even too far, old age humble us all.

Wether you are proud or not, humble or not, death doesn't recognize that, death fvcks whoever it wants to fvck.

Live life the way it pleases you, nobody leaves here alive.

Whenever I see a post about someone that died, especially someone that isn't a celebrity, I usually go to their social media to read their posts prior to their deaths.

Note that I don't do this out of disrespect, or mockery. I respect the dead and I feel bad for their loved ones. The reason I do this is because I want to know the kind of person they were. Sort of like a philosophical experiment.

I've done this for countless people that have passed on and I always notice the same thing: An overestimated sense of importance

These people think they are so special. Like they have God on speed dial and he genuinely cares about their wishes and will make sure they get everything they want.

They usually talk about what they have achieved and what they want to achieve as if their life is a game they designed themselves and are playing it on easy mode.

When I compare their pictures on social media with pictures of their corpse lying on the floor, on the roadside or on some cold bench, I notice a sharp contrast. In the picture of the corpse you see the real person; no fake smiles, not posing for the camera, no filters, no conscious awareness of how their are dressed, no captions on the photos. You see the real person and you realize how much they tried to hide that from the world and how their effort was useless in the end, because in the end, everyone sees them for who they really are.

It's really sad how unaware these people were about just how fleeting life is. Almost like they never sit and question the point of their existence. The level of optimism I see in their posts usually borders on naivety and represents a total detachment from the harsh reality of life, which eventually catches up to them.


So like this, you don't have an overestimated sense of importance, are you insinuating you are destined to die of old age?
Is there any guarantee?

Is there any guarantee you would have a peaceful death because of that?

Your observation are intangible.

Life doesn't have formulas, it deals with people the way it wants.

You are not as wise as you think if social media is your base of judgment. You can never truly know a person based on their social media profile. You are basically feeling superior because they are dead and you are alive. A form of narcissism where you feel better about yourself because someone died. But remember that one day, it will be your turn. No one gets out alive.

Here's what ChatGPT thinks about your post:

ChatGPT: The post you provided appears to be expressing the writer's perspective on deceased individuals' social media posts and their perceptions of life. Here are some points of criticism:

Lack of Empathy: The post may come across as lacking empathy or sensitivity towards the deceased individuals and their loved ones. While the writer claims they do not intend to be disrespectful, their remarks about the deceased's overestimated sense of importance and detachment from reality could be seen as dismissive of the person's experiences and feelings.

Generalization: The post makes sweeping generalizations about the behavior and mindset of people who have passed away based solely on their social media activity. It is essential to remember that social media often presents a curated version of one's life and may not reflect the entirety of a person's character or beliefs.

Invasion of Privacy: Going through the social media of deceased individuals might be seen as intrusive and disrespectful, even if the intention is not to mock or disrespect. It's important to consider the privacy of the deceased and their families when engaging with their online presence.

Misinterpretation of Social Media: Social media platforms often encourage users to showcase positive aspects of their lives, which may not fully represent their internal struggles or complexities. Judging a person solely based on their online presence might lead to misconceptions and unfair assessments.

Preconceived Notions: The writer seems to have preconceived notions about the optimism and naivety of the deceased individuals, assuming they never questioned the point of their existence. This kind of assumption is unfair and lacks a nuanced understanding of the complexities of human life.

Insensitivity towards Grieving: The post focuses on the contrast between social media posts and images of the deceased, which could be distressing for those who are grieving the loss of their loved ones. It is essential to be mindful of the emotions of others when discussing sensitive topics like death.

In conclusion, the post seems to be exploring philosophical observations, but it may come across as insensitive and judgmental towards the deceased individuals. Empathy and respect for the deceased and their loved ones should always be at the forefront when discussing such delicate matters

I really don't see the sense in the thread at all OP.

You're telling me the that the social media timelines of all the dead people you visited showed an exaggerated sense of importance.

The University student that committed suicide, the man who collapsed in the middle of the road and had a trick run over him, the woman who suffered and died from cancer.

Every single one of them. I think you're full of shit my guy.

You talk about their exaggerated sense of importance while failing to see yours as well. You think because they happen to pose nice pictures and the like on SM, they also don't "sit and question the point of their existence."

How arrogant can you be to make such gross generalisations about people you know absolutely nothing about?
