Hey no, its not depressing really you know thinking of this sort of thing, its VITAL. We shy away in terror from death in the west, it is dressed up in strange clothes, and we are told not to speak of it....
While In India and the far east, death is there in your face all the time...I saw my first body in India...we all live close to death, but there they dont pretend otherwise, children play around the funeral pyres, and in the villages, perhaps 5 times a day you hear a funeral party comming singing, Ram,Ram, Sita, Ram and this low drumming...and then the body passes on bamboo stretcher...it seems so natural...I wasnt scared the first time.
Death is just like cleaning your teeth over there and so it should be, methinks xx
