Very true words, Hiero. The problem is in the practition of it, though, lol. After all, you can always change your outlook, but changing something as deep-seated as your view and concept of
death... that's much easier said than done.
Also, in comment to your philosophy on death and conflict not being a tragedy... well I didnt want anyone to take that in an "aggressive" way, so I would like to add that you seem to be emphasizing the fact that all die, and that these things are actually of a natural state. That what you were saying, or did I misinterpret? Would say though, that while I can agree and emphasize with much of it, life itself is far too intoxicating for me to even pretend death is trivial.
