Recently, there was such a news that swept the circle of friends: A delivery boy was sent to a crematorium in the middle of the night and was almost frightened.
Can you imagine how he felt?
It's like being in a ghost domain, with a cold wind and a deep voice, even adults will be scared!
But if we ask ourselves, how much do we, as modern people, know about the topic of death?
As long as it doesn't really invade our lives, we get used to running away, avoiding it.
Looking at the ridicule and comments of netizens, do you also feel the relaxation on the surface, but there is a trace of uneasiness behind it?
I feel like I can, anyway, I'm afraid of ghosts, I'm afraid of everything, I'm afraid of it here, but I'm rich

600 yuan and a half hours, even if I carried the corpse, I took it
Receiving an order for a crematorium in the middle of the night was really scary, but it turned out to be very unexpected
I can carry him to bankruptcy, and I'll get you back if Si Ti runs away
The progress of civilization in modern society has made us farther and farther away from the Silk King, but more afraid and escaped from its existence.
Faced with the ultimate proposition of the Silk King, we are helpless and can only choose to use humor to cover up our inner panic.
A long life? It only adds to fear
(Data citation: According to the World Health Organization, the global average life expectancy was 52.5 years in 1960, and it has climbed to 72.8 years in 2019.) )
With the improvement of medical and health standards, the life expectancy of human beings continues to increase, and more and more people live to the age of 80 and 90.
This is undoubtedly a great achievement of modern civilization, but at the same time, it also invisibly deepens people's fear of death.
We are accustomed to living a long life, and we see death as an "accident" of life, which should be postponed until as late as possible.
Once death is near, whether it is a sudden illness or natural aging, it will cause us to panic and resist.
Making money is a top priority?
In the early years, a young couple took their children camping in the wild, and the children fell into the cliff while playing, but the parents ignored them and only took a video of the child's fall, which is regrettable and outrageous
In this materialistic society, monetary gain seems to be the highest goal that people pursue.
Many people's lives are only about working and making money, and the meaning of life is only to make money, and they ignore the thinking about the existence of life itself.
Once you encounter a life crisis, you will be caught off guard and at a loss.
Just like the young parents, they may think that they can make a profit by taking videos, but they have lost the most basic respect for life.
Is the death of an elder so panicked?
The ancients had their own understanding and wisdom of the Silk King, and therefore had a wealth of customs and rituals to properly guide people to face death.
But now, with the acceleration of social changes, many traditional cultural practices have been forgotten and abandoned by us.
So much so that in today's society, people feel at a loss for some things that should be looked down upon.
How many people understand the natural laws of birth, old age, sickness and death? How many people can accept the death of their loved ones with a peaceful mind?
Life has its ups and downs, and it is the law of nature that it repeats itself. Instead of running away and panicking, it is better to recognize it and embrace it. As Buddhism says, "There is nothing to ask for in life, and there is nothing to do in death." With this wisdom and a normal heart, we will naturally be able to face every aspect of life with a quiet heart and live a wonderful and happy life.
