I
have chosen the topic of death, because it is an issue that we try to avoid...
It’s true that
sometimes we are afraid of the death, since it is intriguing, we deny what will
happen, being the loss of a loved one the hardest blow we can suffer in life. Similarly,
the fear of death is the result of our ignorance toward the same idea. An idea
that we try to avoid. I consider that this is due to the fact that since we are
little, we aren’t educated well about “death”, because the meaning that we
acquire is death such as a tragic fact, full of sadness and pain, instead
of as an eternal rest.
Nevertheless, it’s
true that sometimes what scares us more, it isn’t the death, but the inability to
fend for ourselves, of feeling us old and useless.
This is due to
capitalist society where we live, which marks the desire to be young forever through
by gyms, creams, surgery, liposuctions, etc. Thus, old age is relegated as the
worst stage of life, the most boring and agonizing.
To
sum up, I would say that we should change our mind, or at least, the children’s
mind through the education at school and films, loving all the stages of our life.
