Description

If you think about it, being alive is stranger than being dead. Our eternal sleep is far longer than our brief time awake. This book explores the nature of "eternal sleep" using ancient mythological Gods like Thanatos, Athena, and Asclepius, as well as the Grimm Reaper, through the life and death of one Lithuanian, Oscar Uzgalis. The central question is why is death humans' greatest fear? Only humans are aware they die and become nothing, which knowledge terrorizes many of them. Most of the Gods believe humans should accept their inevitable deaths because they have no choice. Also, accepting their death is a prerequisite to their living a meaningful life. This book describes ways humans die from God (pneumonia), nature (immolation), humans (guillotined), animals (mauled), and themselves (suicide). Some topics include whether death is a blessing or curse, what others think about our death, strategies humans use to avoid the fear of death and why they fail, and near-death experiences. It also explores why we should not fear death, be satisfied with our allotted time, die in our own era, and have gratitude for life and death. The final chapter describes what happens to our corpse.
