Death

Seems a very curious
subject. The way people
perceive it as something
that they can control.




Is

Death actually something to
be controlled? Or does
it have more effect
if it is surprising?




My

own experiences prove the
latter. That emotions are
intensified if death is
unexpected. If caused by




Fatal

Accident, or by sudden,
unknown disease that shows
itself in the worst
way imaginable. We show




Attraction

To death with our
gawking and gasping, slowly
realizing that we too
will die one day.
