Facing death is a great reminder that life is worth living!
Yeah, so you’re probably wondering: how in earth could something like death be even remotely entertaining? The answer is quite simple: have you noticed the amount of blockbuster hit movies that deal directly with death? Or the video games that revolve around killing random individuals and engaging countless massacres? We might as well face it: Our society is deeply obsessed with death, to the point that we keep reliving it on a daily basis through the mass media… and I’m not even going to start discussing the degree of death that’s expressed on the very news that we look forward to as a source of actual information on the contemporary workings on humanity.
Truth of the matter is that, provided we face death with a healthy perspective, it can actually become a therapheutic experience. I’m not going to go as far as suggest that you go out shopping for Urns or Caskets (although there’s definitely nothing wrong with that), but a great exercise can be thinking about the words you’d like to have engraved in your Grave Markers. It may sound like a strange thing to do, but when you think about it, it’s death that defines life, and it’s death that works as a daily reminder that life won’t last forever – and therefore as a reminder that we should enjoy living while we can!
