“You can’t predict life, but you can prepare for it” I don’t know who said it but my parents always told me it growing up. My mom also said “If you don’t have something nice to say don’t say it a lot” and “Complaining without giving a solution is whining.”
SO MANY GREAT QUOTES!

In some cultures, though, the people you leave behind after you pass away, can send you money for your new life by burning fake money as offerings.

I did think of that, and I was intrigued that he would say that, seeing that he is Chinese and the drama takes place before 1920. I thought it was a Buddhist tradition to burn paper money…but maybe I’m messing up the traditions 
There is this drama on NF called The Ghost Bride that takes place in Malaysia and in that drama, the mom of the deceased son burned paper money.

It still happens nowadays. I saw it in a documentary about China and I personally heard it from people who practice it in Vietnam and Korea. But I’m also not sure which tradition it belongs to. Maybe it’s more a cultural thing that found its way into several religious traditions in Asia …
