 I recently saw a documentary about "city folk" starting a homestead. Their perspective on death is VERY unhealthy. They never seem to understand how to accept it, or even deal with it. It's seems to be a constant struggle for them to handle something that is always a part of reality.  
 I don’t think people fear death. They fear suffering before death. 
 I asked someone I’ve known a long time why he took all the Covid shots. He wasn’t afraid of dying at all, he was afraid of the sickness itself. The suffering. 
 COVID ain't that bad lol 
 We all know that lol 
 My point is that they avoid the topic.

I understand the fear of pain, or the unknown.  
 Death requires life. This is a fundamental law.
