The comedian, author and expert on human nature Stefan Vogel answers questions that others don’t even dare to ask.
It is not possible to say only good things about the dead. That is why: “De mortuis nil nisi bene” was demanded 2500 years ago by Chilion of Sparta, one of the seven wise men of ancient Greece, and he justified his famous sentence by saying that the dead can no longer help themselves defend or justify against post-mortem attacks. If you follow his teaching literally – that is, say nothing about the deceased except good things – then posterity at the open grave has only two options: say only good things about the dead or remain completely silent. Which of the two should we do?
