Do you own pictures of dead people? Not just people you knew who have died - but people you never met, but are part of your family’s history? Our fear of death has made us produce great ancestral art, monuments, long chains of memory - to give us some reassurance that not all is lost, because of death.

Our psyche can’t cope with death - therefore we simplify it, try to make it understandable, to trick ourselves into believing that we or our loved ones continue in some way.
