What's the point of any death ritual?
They're for the benefit of the living, a method to process grief and pain.
I think HST benefitted while living from the knowledge he would be shot out of a cannon. Some religious people can derive comfort from having a ready plot in hallowed ground.
So I guess still for the living, but that can include the living person to be disposed of somehow
yeah, this is why people choose their method of burial rather than us just choosing randomly after they die every time
Which i think we can all agree is fucked, right? People should be able to choose how their corpse is disposed of, as a right
Bold of you to dictate how people are allowed to think about death
I don't think the dead are getting much out of it.
they are actually, up until they die
That doesn't mean we should be uncritical of such rituals, as though coping mechanisms themselves are fully unassailable. Whatever pathology results in someone thinking being smeared on the face of the moon is the best option can be soothed much more cheaply by means that don't involve actually smearing them on the face of the moon, such as therapy.
I don’t feel comfortable responding, I feel like I’ll say more bad things
This is some really low teir
