I know this uncle in pakistan who’s family wasn’t so well off when he was a child and he and his mom and his siblings used to stay at a maternal uncle’s house for months (on the maternal uncle’s money). So now he is all grown up, married and with a very good job making more than a decent amount of money and now has around 3 houses (so he is really well off) while the maternal uncle that his family used to stay with is in the opposite situation. Recently the maternal uncle died and this guy didn’t even bother to attend the funeral even though he lived in the same city and didn’t have any major problem that would have kept him from paying respect to the uncle.
I think its sort of sad how people tend to forget others who helped them in their bad days. I think he should have attended but IS HE OBLIGATED TO IT???
Re: What should he have done?
he should have attended;
one should never ever forget the ones that have ever helped!
obligatory; dont think so
Re: What should he have done?
I think this is very sad and that the uncle who did not attend the funeral should be very ashamed of himself. There is NO excuse for this.
Re: What should he have done?
I think it is good that he was open in his intentions rather than he went and then b*tched at the funeral. Trust me, I have seen such ladies and men and they are the last thing the grieving family needs.

He is very mean but atleast better than those who just pretend to be nice. These're actually dangerous people because they're not sincere and can deceive anytime.
Re: What should he have done?
He should have attended it... obligation does not counts here...
its amazing how people forget...but if you are doing naki.. think this way.. neiki kar darya mein daal..
Re: What should he have done?
Its not obligatory but human decency demands it.
Re: What should he have done?
Very Selfish person!
Re: What should he have done?
cutiepie, it might not be that black n white. your uncle *might *have had a bad experience or been insulted while staying at the maternal uncle's house. im not saying he shouldnt have attended the funeral...just that there might be more to the story because it seems really weird not only to not attend an uncle's funeral but one that helped you out in your time of need.
Re: What should he have done?
Yeh duniya ek pehya hay, jab main oper hoon to mujhay chahyay keh mein neechay walay ka hath pakar kar rakhoon. Kyon keh aglay chakkar main mein neechay aur neechay wala oper hoga.
This uncle will be back to "neechay" in next chakkar. You reap what u sow.
Re: What should he have done?
I think one should always be with a family in the most lowest point of their life, thats when you really find out who is there for you in rough times.
no ifs and or buts
Re: What should he have done?
The answer is quite obvious.
Re: What should he have done?
depends on the situation .. yes they stayed with them but were they treated right ? if so then he should have gone ..
actually even if he wasnt treated right he should have gone .. but who knows
Re: What should he have done?
never thought of it like that. :aq:
but as far as i know they were treated very well.
