RE: [3x SBI Giveaway] My Actifit Report Card: febbraio 22 2019
I had hundreds of weird situations but probably the most embarrassing or the one that pops first in my mind, I was about 10 years old and my grandparents took me to a funeral of a friend of theirs. There, with a glass in my hand (I don't recall what the drink inside was), instead of pouring some on the ground as per the tradition, I said loudly "Cheers". Everybody became silent and people were staring at me. Imagine the feeling :) I'm in my mid-forties and I still remember this :D
Many philosophies celebrate death as a passage of state.
In many cultures, it is actually used to celebrate during the funeral.
You didn't do anything wrong! ;)
Thank you for telling us about your experience!
Thank you, @amico! I guess you're right, however in my culture it's like a quiet gathering to say goodbye. The invited put their black suits and sad faces, etc... Nevertheless at the end usually people are drunk, some of them laugh and tell jokes, etc. My outburst happened at the beginning, though 😂💪. No one could forget such a speechless blaming. 😂

Even in the catholic culture I grow in (Italy is very much influenced by Vatican power) the death it’s something to be scary of and no one makes parties! 🤗
