> (there's really no such thing as "dying of old age", despite the myth)? There is. I was talking to a buddy of mine, whose in his seventies, says that some people don't really have anything wrong with them, just that everything slowly stops working. Nothing to point to as wrong, just a slow decline. > Yet, it's understandable why people get angry when people start philosophizing about death when someone dies. My biggest problem with secular culture is that we've lost a certain perspective and ability to handle our own mortality. People just get utterly irrational when it comes to death. Life is beautiful, certainly, but death also has a dignified beauty to it too, and if you strip death of its dignity, then what you get is an abomination to life. So you see this culture where you lose control over your own dignity to satisfy other peoples' lack of emotional maturity. Really sad. A car wreck isn't at the top of my list of preferred ways to die, but it's far from the bottom. Way more dignified than a lot of the alternatives.
