As you know, today,
we always try to...
We don’t respect death in many ways.
In the hospitals, we try to lengthen life
way beyond, I would say, what the organism can stand.
We don’t respect death. in Europe, today,
vandalism in cemeteries, for example, is not rare.
On the other hand, when death happens,
it is lived as an accident rather than
a natural phenomenon.
That is, we stopped thinking of death
as part of life and as a cycle,
a normal element of life cycle.
that makes, if we stop
respecting death, I must say that
also the rituals with which we celebrate, salute death,
they have also lost a lot, I would say,
of their seriousness and sincerity. They are usually
obligations of which we try to get rid of.
And if we lose the meaning and place of death,
at the same time we lose the meaning and place of life.
