Why is it that as a society we put so much emphasis and love/respect for people that have passed on and not give that emphasis to the people around us that are alive?

Because people tend towards routine and end up becoming relatively oblivious to those around them, and then when those people are gone, they realize what they had, and then they guiltily try to make up for the lack of attention they paid the person when alive by overcompensating with their death.
In other words, people never appreciate what they got till it's gone.

bcuz alot of people mourn the people who are dead rather than giving life to the ones that are living but if we stand together and love every1 then I dont think that we should have a problem don't just love for the moment love for eternity

Have you done anything to deserve people's respect or especially God's respect?

Perhaps it's because we don't realize how great the people in our lives are until they are no longer with us.

Because if you were to bad-mouth them, the dead aren't around to defend themself.
