Better Being Dead Than Alive to See the Country This Way
Nothing about death should be considered a gift, and it is so shocking that anyone would think this way. While the country and economy have gone through several phases of depreciation, I am sure his mother would appreciate living to see it rather than being dead.
We are always told to respect the dead, and the least this person could do is take the time to send some prayers on behalf of his late mother rather than dragging her memory into something like this.
