One thing this world can always rely on is death. It never stops. It doesn’t show mercy by slowing or taking a break, even for a day. If anything, mercy is there only when death comes faster.
No one who is born into this world and lives beyond childhood leaves it without something buried deep inside them.
The body is only lent to the soul. Once life separates from it, the earth has every right to reclaim it and nothing can stand in its way. It seems a cruel narcissism to go to such lengths to preen and pamper a body just for the sake of those who want to be comforted by the illusion of life rather than confronted with the reality of death.
