I think in some asian portrayals of ghosts, its because they have "unfinished bussiness" so their spirit wont leave.
I know unfinished business doesn't necessarily mean business in the economic sense, but it's still funny we call it that. Like even ghosts can't escape capitalism.
heaven and hell are capitalistic too.
You know in Chinese culture, they burn those fake "heaven money" so the dead spirits have "money to spend"? Yea my parents do that stuff in lunar new years and other holiday stuff.
Lol thats just so ridiculous, I'm not gonna be doing these dumb rituals that my ancestors have been doing. Its the 21st century, I not doing silly spiritualism stuff.
