Thought for the Day

Published by Dougal at 12:37 pm under Society

The other day I subscribed to a new podcast, Thought for the World. It’s a three-minute monologue in the style of the BBC’s Thought for the Day. It’s produced by the Humanist Society of Scotland and bills itself as a humanist reflection. Recent contributors have been Arthur Smith and AC Grayling. Next week there’s one from Christopher Brookmyre!

Today’s thought mentioned, among other things, the purpose of funerals and grieving. If someone specifically asked not to have a funeral, should their wishes be respected — or is the funeral for the needs of the people left behind?

    Ha! Classic, in a bitterly sarcastic way.
