Yeah, death is a constant companion. I think our society has some serious problems with how we treat the whole death process. Most people have never actually seen a real corpse. We hide death away in hospitals and such. I think it is healthy for people to come to terms with the nature of life. Owning pets as a small kid i guess is a process whereby we have to deal with losing a loved one. I remember being upset for a long time when my pets died. When i was fifteen i found a dead body in the bush- it was also a bit troubling. But, overall i think dealing with it is better than not examining the feelings we have toward death.
