We don't speak about death much. People prefer to stay silent about topics like these, some out of fear, some out of courtesy. I feared it all of my life. Both consciously and subconsciously. But after I decided to meet it face to face, and get to know death, it turned out to be our closest friend, advisor, and helper. That is especially true when something unneeded, something finished has to die, dissolve, transform.
I find it funny that we end up being fascinated with our aversions. To keep us in good health, we end up studying the ways of how death works. We study death to avoid it and we still end up being drawn to it no matter what we do.
