death becomes you


The meaning of our dying will depend to great extent upon the social context in which the dying occurs. Meanings are the basic component of human behavior because individuals respond to the meanings of phenomena rather than to the phenomena themselves. Meanings are both socially created and socially perpetuated. In thinking about the dying process, the first thing that comes to our awarness is the concept of time. From the moment of our births, we are approaching the end of our lives.

Even if I live for 100 years, I'll be dead a lot longer
