There is some deep bonding to the birth, life, death cycle in creatures
such as we. It will not be instantaneous that many see it and go beyond
it. Have some compassion for your fellow creature's difficulty with
this. Go writing them off and they will simply write you off, perhaps
in worse ways than simply ignoring you"
That's nice, sensible attitude towards death. People have been adopting
sensible attitudes towards death for a long, long time...and they keep
putting them in the ground.
