Agreed. I don't think this fixation of death was really a good thing though. Thoughts of an afterlife an all that jazz.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.
