On Death and Other Options

Anthropology is a good place to start when investigating world views on death. Philosophy, art, science and technology also offer possible in-depth understanding of how society and, later, individuals have dealt with death and developed rituals in coping with the fear and anguish, loss and abandonment that ceasing to exist brings about. But when considering death and other options, it is a safe bet to start by learning how culture has viewed death over the centuries.

Hello. The query of Death is too intriguing to be be worked on. However, it can be closely related to our purpose, and reason of existence.

We need to think about, what exists in Nature, which makes Life & Death so special, when it is observed from Human perspective.
