“What if no one shows up?” –
my question to myself
In my
life I have met many people. While
working in several industries I
have probably met/knew/worked with
several thousands of people. In
addition, teaching courses for 18 years in several institutions exposed me to
several thousand students.
So
what?
I now
live far from where I was born. I am not
where near where the majority of the people with whom I have worked with
reside. I no longer actively teach.
If I
was to die, who would attend my funeral?
Majority of my own family is spread out all over the world: from US to
Europe to China
It is
like the old saying, “If a tree falls down in an empty forest, does anyone hear
it?” Does it make a difference?
I am
not depressed or being morbid. It dawned
on me that being away from majority of my contacts that there exists a
possibility that a very small group would show up for my funeral.
Today’s
question is:
“Who would attend your send
off?”
