It was funny when the "cult of death," saying became popular since, by all rights, we live in a cult of life. Our society is obsessed with avoiding anything even symbolically reminiscent of death, preferring to preserve mere numbers on a spreadsheet, or mere facts to list in a bio. People seek love without sacrifice, freedom without risk, change without action, religion without piety, life without death. Dangerously out of balance, the safety of the image is prized over the depth of reality. To "live," this way is not to live at all, merely to walk like the undead.
