yes. i cry so much for you… but i’m happy that i don’t have to go to your grave anymore, because we’ve got fake flowers there, so… really, that represents our love for you. i mean, we don’t really want to go to your freaking grave… it takes time!
anyway, yeah, we put fake flowers by your grave… because if we put live ones, they are going to die, and then we are going to have to go back and spend more money for more live flowers.
of course... we pretend that you’re “up there, looking down at us”, and that some kind of "god" has you wrapped in his little arms, and that everything is good and that you are floating on clouds, and we are going to come up there and meet you someday.
but we’re not ready to come up there and meet you now... even though we saaaaaaaaay:

what are we going to do there? pray to a rock? it’s f---ing ridiculous!

what the f---? why do that?
you’re gone!

“it’s better up there, it’s better up there…
it’s soooo much better up there”
but we aren’t dying to get there, are we? well, maybe we are dying to get there, but we aren’t trying to get there. because it would be easy to end our lives… and go to heaven… but (of course) some religions say that if you end your life then you go to hell.
so maybe that’s why we are so medicated, and we eat such sh—ty food, and we have such poor behaviors… maybe that is what we are trying to do… maybe we are trying to kill ourselves without really killing ourselves. that way, we can get to die faster, and we can hang out with our loved ones.
-the end?
