Dealing with Death

All shall be restored; I think that this can say a lot of things about how culture deals with death. If your culture believes in an after life, going to heaven, or reincarnation than the all can be restored saying has a lot of depth and meaning to the way culture deals with death. In these types of cultures I think that death is just another way of moving on and growing. Not the physical state of growing but the soulful and spiritual way of growth. I think that all shall be restored means that even though you’re physical state is dead, that your soul can be restored and move on. Your soul never stops growing and getting wiser and wiser, your body dies but your soul lives on. I think that culture thinks and deals with death this way because they do not want to see the sadness of death. Not having a loved one around anymore, I think these people don’t want to dwell on the sadness of the absence of the person but think of the positives of their soul being restored and moving on and growing. Culture chooses to try and deal with death by having an optimistic out look on it. It thinks after death that the soul can still find happiness and be at peace. Even though a person has died, culture has taught people to think that it was meant for them to die, that it was their time and that their soul shall be restored in heaven, during your after life or even being reincarnated. Culture wants people to deal with death in the way after you die you go on to something better and greater that what you had in your physical life. I think that culture wants people to deal with death in the way that they have something to look forward to when they die, that there is something out there greater for them to come upon and discover. With all these things that culture wants people to think about when someone dies, I think that culture wants the mourners to be sad and miss the person who is now gone, but think that they are now in a better more peaceful place than they were before. Culture wants to make death seem not so sad but as happy that now this person and go off and be in internal happiness and bliss. Culture wants to take some of the sadness and gloom out of death and want people to think that there soul isn’t done with that it has just started a new chapter. Culture tries to wipe the tears off of people’s cheeks and be that type of comfort to say that everything is going to be alright. Culture is the bright side of something bad, it helps people deal with the sadness of death by making people believe that there is a place where the dead can be even happier and more at peace than ever.
