Your thoughts are perfectly-worded and quite profound. It is a sign of the times indeed, when death is fearfully viewed by most while others instead choose to deny its very existence. For countless centuries, beings, races, cultures, civilisations and faiths have worshipped the passing of one's spirit - the earthly trial concludes as unfathomable wonder lies in wait. Humanity is all but void of spirit...soulless, one could say. This is why I enjoy referring to death as the awakening, for the vast majority are engaged in self-loathing, decadent dreams.

Your article is beautiful, and a text I shall read a number of times no doubt.
