Love is Dangerous

Question 1
A FRIEND HAS ASKED: WHY SHOULD WE THINK OF DEATH AT ALL? WE HAVE LIFE, LET US LIVE IT.
LET US LIVE IN THE PRESENT.
WHY DO WE BRING IN THE THOUGHT OF DEATH?
He has asked the right thing.
But his very asking, "Why bring in the idea of death?" or "Lets just live and not even think of death" shows in itself that even he cannot escape thinking about death.
Death is such an enormous fact it cannot be ignored; although throughout our lives we try not to think of death -- not because death is not worth thinking about, but because the very thought of it is terrifying.
The very idea that "I will die" sends chills up our spines.
Of course, it will shake you up while dying; but even before that, if this idea takes hold of your mind, it will shake you to your very roots.
Man has always tried to forget about death, he has tried not to think about it.
We have managed our entire system of life in such a way that death should not become visible.
All mans efforts and plans towards falsifying death seem to be succeeding, but they never are successful -- because death is there.
