The concept of gratitude, especially giving and receiving small gestures that might mean everything to us at the moment of need resonated. I shared this excellent reflection.
One comment about obits. While I’m not as devoted a fan, I often wonder about laudatory remembrances. Surely, not every deceased is fondly remembered. If I were an obit writer, for some the final record would be brutally frank. For example:
“Roy Cohn, a truculent lawyer to the likes of Senator Joseph M. McCarthy and Donald J. Trump, died on August 2, 1986, from complications of AIDS. Nobody mourned the SOB’s passing - not even a pet dog.”
And a graduate of the Ethical Culture Schools to add!
