Description:
By the time a child is born, it is already carrying finality in its small body, a finality that we call death. Paradoxically, it is as if this is the meaning of his life, the outcome of his life, which is the same for all people. – Where are we going? Where will we all be together? – However, death appears to us as something frightening, something we must flee from, against which we must fight. Maybe because the meaning of our life lies precisely in our life, in something we can encounter during our life, in time of life and not of death. The more science progresses, the more dreadful and shrouded death is by the absurdity, by the fear of accepting it as part of the nature of the essence of life. If in the past death was seen as normal, today it is seen as an intruder, an outsider. It is the disease that must be fought, it is true, but death is not, even if this confusion is often made.
