It is no surprise that most religions are centered around death - overcoming death and "preserving" lost ones by declaring them eternal souls or spirits.

We love to fool ourselves "beyond" death. Even in the age of modern science and medicine we try to prolong the line, no matter the cost and even pain to old and dying people.

Death is the ultimate barrier. And we should culturally, spiritually and medically face it with more dignity, wisdom and openness.

We all will die - and we shouldn’t be ignored and discarded by society nor by ourselves.
