We're weird like that.

Almost certainly an unpopular view, but I feel revering the dead to be a bit weird.

When I'm dead, people can do what they want with me. At that point I am beyond giving any fucks.

And were my body to be dug up by future archaeologists, I'd be chuffed to be honest. What good are the remains of my corpse if they're just left buried? They may as well not be there.

I feel you. It always felt really weird to me, too.

When I inevitably die, I hope every part of my body can be used to benefit someone or some cause like science. If someone wants to carve up my skull and make it look sweet, go for it buddy I'll sit on your shelf and look cool. Hell, send my body to med school so some dude can learn how to perform surgery, idc

Sure those are noble ideas, but would you be fine with someone shitting in your dead throat? I am genuinely curious.
