Maybe this will help. Imagine you are at a Greek taverna for dinner, and you get a message informing you of Sebastian’s passing. Would you to continue your original plan to order the Saganaki? No. Despite all the lies and nonsense, you would remember that Sebastian is a human being, whose words have brought laughter and bemusement to this lawyer chatting board over the years. And you would know it would be wrong to persist in your decision to have a flaming cheese appetizer plate brought to your table under the circumstances. Instead, you would embrace your humanity and the complicated thicket of emotions that comes with it. You would get the Dolmathes. Out of respect.

Thank you. This is so helpful. And you are right, and I might even go a step further, out of respect, and order myself a shot of ouzo so I could drink to him. Flaming ouzo.
