It's interesting how in less modern times, death was more ever present and yet they still went out of their way to remind people about it.
The modern world by contrast, one can go well into their 30s without personally being touched by it in your family/friends circle. We could use the reminder of it now more than then, and yet we sanitize & Disney-fy everything instead.
- sbaiddn 4y agoIm nearing 40 and the only person "close" to me that has died is my grandpa, but I barely knew him since I grew up half way around the world. As an (immature) adult I saw him twice. Twice as a teen. Once as a child post-migration. I loved him so dearly as a young child yet, when he passed, it barely registered.
