Cleaning and memories.

[pphaneuf]

Did a great deal of sorting out, with ayria providing entertainment throughout. It looks bad, but I've got to take the garbage to the curb, and then, it will be better! I (used to) own a combination ice scraper, car tire thread wear guage and magnifier. What in hell possessed me to pick up that item, bring it to the cashier, pay for it and leave with it?!?

Was looking for an english word at some point, knew I saw it in denizsarikaya's LJ once, went looking for it, and was a bit surprised to find out I couldn't do it. Couldn't find it, because I could read far back enough before I couldn't stand it.

I read forward through Deniz's weblog just a week before she passed away. It was a bizarre feeling to go through years of someone's life like that.

I wonder who will read my archives from beginning to end.

and I still have her logs.
It is hard not to read her private entries.

I really don't know what to do with that cookie from hell.

I think I don't share a very popular sentiment about reading private thoughts of the deceased. But I do have a horribly moral one.

You should only ever know the private thoughts of someone dead if you're is willing to resolve the deceased's affairs. This is in line with opening a will, reading a diary, etc. If you're not willing to act on the dead's behalf, then it's best not to know.

This is mostly founded on my belief that one should repay all debts, right all wrongs, and to finish what is started. So if someone dies, it's up to their loved ones to carry on their burdens. But like I said, this doesn't seem to be a popular belief around these parts.

Oh, I also beleive that, in fact it is in my cultural background. loved ones, family ave the duty to "close all the earthly business" of a deceased. and if it were only that I would have not a problem in reading her private entries. It is dwelling in her private thoughts, her feelings ( that she put private at the time, I mean if she wanted to share them with me she would have. WHat if I learn something about someone else that I shouldn't have? I am not sure I want to take that risk. It is not affraid of the responsabilities but of the information.
