Dead People Are More Valuable Than Living Ones; How Chandler’s Life Proves It

The death of someone you love makes you realize ‘how little you loved them.’

The Man Who Made Everyone Laugh

One of the most popular, loved, and successful TV series, FRIENDS inspired people to understand the value of friendship, friends, and the warmth of the human heart.

Not only is FRIENDS the MOST successful and loved series of all time but its characters were so real and relatable that you would recognize them for their ‘reel character’ rather than their ‘real personality.’

One such character that everyone loved was our beloved Chandler Bing which Matthew Perry played. Unfortunately, he died just a couple of days ago at the age of 54. Yes, gone too soon.

As controversial as it may sound, Matthew may have died just a couple of days ago but in reality, we were losing him every day. And let me say it, no one paid attention.

The truth is that you are valuable to everyone when you are dead.

As Anne Frank wrote in her book, ‘The Dairy of a Young Girl’, “Dead people receive more flowers than the living ones because regret is stronger than gratitude.”

How?
