In reply to the discussion: On Grave-Dancing [View all]Torchlight
(3,293 posts)60. Grave dancing has the same effect that 'thoughts and prayers' do
that is, no effect; and certainly no effect on the deceased.
Grave dancing is (all things being equal) without consequence, so any sanctimony I might dress myself in at the expense of others for engaging in it, or the smug self-righteousness I may feel at staying silent, is also meaningless. As grandad used to tell me: it ain't gonna change the taste of mustard.

My sentiments exactly. Life is too short to spend time rejoicing other people's deaths.
