What does a person know about death? Or maybe only his attitude towards her is taken for this knowledge, for understanding the essence? After all, if you think about it, then nothing is really known about death. Everyone would like to receive answers to these questions, because at least once in his life, he thought about it.
In many world religions, the attitude towards death is ambiguous. Dogmas are based on subjective knowledge, and to believe in them or not is everyone's choice. For some, the position of Buddhists may be closest. Why not? Indeed, judging by how they relate to death, one might think that it never existed. Reincarnation is direct evidence of this. Modern science does not recognize it, but also does not actively deny it. This allows you to freely think that there is still a rational link, and the rebirth of a person is a very real experience.
Orthodox Christians are urged not to sin, to do good deeds, and "there" they will be counted or strictly asked. In simple words, after the human shell ceases to make movements, speak, invest in food, and then isolate the products of its decomposition, nothing will change.

The funeral itself takes place in a relaxed atmosphere, accompanied by cheerful dancing to loud music. What do these people know? Why don't they grieve?

Bali island in indonesia. The Bourleys from the funeral are having a whole holiday. From their point of view, life is a temporary state of man, and death gives him the opportunity to choose.
By the example of the attitude of Tibetan monks to the last breath of air of their neighbor, one can also see not sorrow, but rather joy. They clearly realize that the moment of the true enjoyment of freedom is drawing near, and from this their clear mind rejoices.
Then why so moan and dramatically wring their hands at the mention of death? Isn't it better to stop thinking of her as a very real action? What if this is someone's cool joke that doomed its publisher to eternal homeric laughter? And the man himself in this also plays along with him. Oddly enough, but the orthodoxy of religions gives rise to the paradox of science. The louder the phrase “Death is the logical end of a person’s life cycle, ” the more it encounters resistance and gives rise to incredible paradoxes, which have yet to be proved.
