I would like your opinion

Hi ^^ Ok, so I would like your opinion on something (please).
The saturday just gone I was cycling to my parent's second house cause they needed me to look after my baby sister while they moved stuff around. Anyway, I decided to take a short cut through the cementry, so once I got to the gates I dismounted and walked on through (I thought cycling through would be disrespectful to deceased and to the families of the deceased). I know everyone dies but there were so many graves and the majority were just forgotten, the acid in the rain ruined headstones so the names were lost in history and one 17 year old girl's grave had caved in on itself. At this point I wanted to cry because so many people, even if they are dead, had been forgotten and almost erased, no-body cares about them.. anyway so I really wanted to cry as my eyes danced over these people and it started to rain almost as if the sky was crying gently for me. So that's when the idea hit me: I figured that to each grave in the cementry that has been forgotten I'll give a rose.., I'd do a different handful a week.
So should I do it, or is it a silly idea?

I like that idea. I think it would be nice.

It sounds like something a friend of mine and I did - we were walking around a cemetary behind a church as part of our nightly walk and we noticed that there were flags planted near some graves. But the majority of the flags were damaged. My friend and I didn't want to remove the flags, but we were sad that the people who were being honoured with the flags had torn and dirty flags. So we went to a craft store the next day and bought a flag for each grave that originally had a flag and put a new flag on the graves.

Thanks :D and that was really sweet of you and your friend :)

I think thats a really sweet idea ^_^ Their spirits would be really grateful of you.

It is a goo idea, and would quickly let you gain the respect of some spirits of the dead (I know people try to avoid using that word but let's face it, that's the word for it). I am a (semi) Necromancer. I know that this would please the spirits that have yet to move in to another life. Also if you are really intent on aging their favor offerings if honey/apples/bread or simply wine.

That is a very nice thing you want to do for them.

If that idea had a face, it would be very beautiful :D

Honestly I think you should the spirits would be happy and i Think it may gve you more happiness and bring positive things. Its not anything bad. SO I would do it its kind sincere and you thought of it so its not like someone put thoses feelings int here. Soulsa re forgotten and eventually left there but at leastthey can be more content knowing not everyone has forgotten them.

tht is a thoughtful idea :) im sure the spirits would appreciate it

I echo everyone else's approval :D If you can do it, by all means. That's very thoughtful of you, to show such compassion for other souls. I hope something very nice happens to you in return
