As far back as I can remember, I always thought about death.. almost all the time.. even in my dreams and I still do. Most of the time it scared me or saddened me at least... at first I tried to avoid it... but that seemed impossible.. you avoid it and it comes back and haunts you more...that's why I wanted to conquer it, mostly thinking about plausible physical immortality due to advanced technologies in the future ! But this is something you can never be certain of... although there's another way... by "embracing it and accepting it" .. that sounds too simple and achievable yet does anybody know how to do that ? If you ask maybe the response will be "huh.. why would anyone do that ? ". But somehow deep withing I knew that however crazy it may sound.. this is the only way to conquer this damn inevitable thing !
This is all the more reason to visit Bhutan, the country that has accepted "death" not only as something inevitable but something you must keep reminding yourself of every day and embrace it.
Everyone must read this beautiful BBC article.
