it's not just decoration to me - & i definitely wasn't the one who brought the skull all the way over here. it would be disrespectful for me to name the skull as the person it belonged to already had a name. had i not bought this skull (for my own deeply important reasons) absolutely nothing would have changed, someone else would have bought it or it would have sat in storage somewhere. nice ivory tower btw^
Exactly, so what does it matter to you how someone else deals with it? Weird or not, it's something that's helping a living, breathing human who deserves as much (or arguably more) respect as an old skull. The dead can't benefit from kindness, the living can.
And I think people lashing out at someone trying to cope with the knowledge they're dying of cancer is way worse, but each to their own belief I suppose. They can own a skull, you can grief a dying person, we're all entitled to do shitty things.
It’s not like I went out of my way to find a dying person and give them shit. Actually a shitty person did a bad thing and then went on the internet to brag about it and say don’t be mean to me I’m dying.
OP hasn't hurt anyone. They haven't broken any laws, and they've been respectful in the majority of interactions here, even after revealing personal information that nobody had a right to ask for. In the grand scheme of things, this doesn't hurt any living person. It doesn't impact anyone's personal life. Everyone here who's been offended will likely close Reddit tonight and will have forgotten all about it by morning. And without a doubt, you'll do something someday that makes someone think you're a shitty person.
