death brings the family together

along with sad experiences of other people, i have noticed that death does bring the family together, albeit reluctantly.

this afternoon, we went to the chinese cemetery to pay our last respects to our departed relatives. there, you could see the people who have same interests, you'll also see there how they've influenced their kids to stick only to the children of the family members that they choose. it's sad that up to this day, children have to be dragged into the feud of parents, much like Romeo and Juliet.

I had a few exchange of words with someone from the family whom I used to respect. Due to things that have been happening in his life, I have lost respect for him. Anyway, I bitched at him because he had the gall to tell me that the property we had would be confiscated. He went further by saying that the rumors were just signs of concern.

I said my piece and decided to stay in the car to avoid conversations like that...

Later on, I got to talk to relatives who were nice... This talk made me realize that good guys always come last in this evil world. Sad, but true...
