A Perfect Afternoon and Vacation

I want to sit in on a funeral and see what the person was like. Like indirect characterization in a book. I want to know what they possibly could have contributed to the world and to others;I want the full rough copy of their character sketch. It would really make a perfect afternoon. I feel like half the time, I'm more concerned or just curious of others' struggles and lives than my own, but that's better than being fixated on myself and complain every five minutes.
Also, I also really want to read other people's case files and learn about disorders with no cure or just spend five or so days in a mental facility. THAT would be the BEST vacation EVER! I would learn SO much about people. I believe that in order to become a better person, you should learn more about others even if they are mental.
Lastly, listen in on other people's therapy or listen to their AAA meetings. There was an episode of 30 Rock where Tina Fey's character, Liz Lemon, was given the choice, sort of, to either stay and watch Floyd, her upcoming boyfriend's AAA meeting or not, and she did. Now, I can see why people would say she should have respected the privacy of him and the group's, but on the other side, she made the selfishly right decision. Who doesn't like to gossip? It's just like that. It's like watching Desperate Housewives except without the annoying red-headed bird lady.
