I never understood this idea that we always have to have compassion for the dead.
They are dead, while having compassion always has value, there is more value to having compassion for the living.
I’m guessing it’s to comfort the living who fear being hating after they die
I think there's also a degree of picking on someone who can't defend themselves.
I think in this case, the solution to both of those issues is: if you dont want to get picked on, dont be a piece of shit people want to pick on
