ahhh the deaths like ours, taking off their colorful robes, showing what they really are... they would be better if the bodies were ejected beyond the roofs, conquering space on a route to you, paradise. Would that bother anyone in the afterlife? I, if I were divine, would have used more care building deaths like that, because I saw under the creek bridge, in the dark of all time, our bodies like pale fish, floating sad in the dim reflection of the moon. to you who were not born I'll give you some advice, be nothing in this life, whatever life is.

In answer to your question, I think not! Death is the most intriguing experience of life, in my humble opinion. My wife said she was going on the greatest journey of her life. Why do we fear that which common to every living thing??? The image of "our bodies like pale fish, floating sad in the dim reflection of the moon" is absolutely masterful.

I was reading a book on the psychology of learning. in it there is a classification of the personality and its development. in this case, apprehension about death qualifies man as an adult infantilized by the fear of the inevitable. I think it's my case. lol lol lol
