The fascinating thing about LL was how in touch with death it put people. But before modern medicine and modern industrialism seeing death was a CONSTANT part of life for most of human history. Wars, disease, childbirth, work accidents etc. The world was a much more dangerous and deadly place. A canal was built in my city and thousands of people died while building it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Basin_Canal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Basin_Canal Now things are so safe and we rarely see death outside of the confines of a funeral home or something. Death has become strange and foreign event to people in the west, which is good from a quality of life perspective. But also bad because we're so out of touch with the natural world that I think it warps human beings psyche a little bit.
