Dead Man Walking
"Death is inevitable. The fact of death is certain. The date of death is uncertain. Do you realize that human beings are the only creatures who know they are going to die and therefore they are the only creatures who are desperately trying to forget it? If you don't believe that, just start talking about dying and watch people hit the conversational remote button and change the channel.
"We try so many ways to put death out of our minds. For example, has it ever occurred to you that we buy life insurance instead of death insurance? The beneficiary can't collect it while you are living; they can only collect it when you are dead, so why do we call it life insurance?
"Death is public enemy number one. We do everything we can to avoid it - buckle up, use air bags, sleep more, run, eat less fat, more protein, less caffeine, more vegetables, more fruits, take our vitamins, hit the gym, etc.
"Yet, we all know that not only is death inevitable it is inescapable. Euripides, the Greek poet said, "Death is the debt we all must pay." There are even people today who specialize in death. They are called "Thanatologists" from the Greek word for death, "thanatos." Amazingly, every college and university across the country offers a course or seminar on death, dying and immortality. We know it is coming."
