Father for a girl

I have heard of Electra Complex. Have you? I believe the daughter has hero worship towards her father.
I was just teasing my wife Usha regarding her father's habit of throwing the cover of a tablet. I actually threw one and she was watching my action. I teased her 'your dad was throwing the tab cover like this'
'don't tell anything bad about my Father ' she immediately reacted.
I grinned and said 'I also loved your father. He was a great man' Yes, he passed away in 2001. Even today we remember some of his words and deeds.
There is a saying in Kannada ' to see someone's greatness, you have to see how many people attend his funeral'
My God, Even now I remember. On that day of 14th May 2001, when he passed away suddenly, not many people were told about his death except his kith and kin. The whole of the extension was at his home trying to catch the last glimpse.
They were uttering, murmuring 'Great man, he was very good man'
Isn't it great to have such nice words after death?
Many a times we say quite unkindly when a bad man dies 'Thank God he died. Good riddance of the bad rubbish'
Which is a better death scene?
