"Don't speak ill of the dead"?

How about "Don't be a bad person when you're alive"?

Something I was brought up to believe was that you shouldn't speak ill of the recently deceased. A courtesy to those in mourning.

I struggle with that rule sometimes.

Great advice. Do you follow it?

Is there one way to be a good person?

Does being a good person also mean agreeing with your politics?
