JUST PHILOSOPHISING ON - THE STRANGE FAMILIARITY OF DEATH!

 And so it is that, as the elaborate and regal arrangements were being completed for the burial of most probably the longest reigning Monarch in at least modern times. 

Following the death of HRH, Queen Elizabeth, did I find myself reflecting and contemplating on strange familiarity of this thing or state called death.

How, I ask myself, can us humans be consistently taken so low, by its, death's reoccurrence, when it is so common, so certain and so inevitable 🤔. 

How, when we cannot ever experience or reflect on the death of others, be they close or far from us, in proximity or degrees of relationship, without pondering our own pending and inescapable demise, or that oof our loved ones🤔

Why, we could or might ask ourselves, are or should we be so disheartened, when we know only too well that this thing, death, is a fate, a state which we must all endure as a necessary and unavoidable consequence of having attained this thing called life🤔

Should we not have or be developing a culture which celebrates death, knowing that it is the ultimate state of freedom from existence and all that it inflicts on and exposes the ergo-sum and non-cogitative living being to🤔

And what of the matter of older generations needing to move on and or 'out of the way', so that the younger generations can takeover and 'inherit the earth' for their allocated time🤔🙏🏿. 

For, as we respectfully mourn the Royal death, and our near or relatives who have passed, should we not also or even more so be happy about the good fortune which will be bestowed upon the living🤔🙏🏿

For example, that, by virtue of the passing or death of his mother, HRH Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles has finally been Crowned King Charles 111.  His son, Prince William, has now been made the Prince of Wales. And the British people now have the opportunity of having a Monarchy which could become better accentuated to 21st and 22nd centuries 🤔🙏🏿🙏🙏🏻

And so it is that, it seems to me that our human species would or could be better served by us having a better and more pragmatic, logical and balanced relationship between mourning and celebrating the death of loved ones. 😪😊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.
