We as people have such a fear of death, not one of us really KNOWS if there's an afterlife or not and some people spend their life trying to figure out if there really is an afterlife or not...
but we have absolutely no problem showing death in movies or books?
I know when people watch movies, they can watch it disconnected from everything that's going on, they'll feel emotion if it's a sad movie, and scared if it's a horror movie, and overall, it's just a movie right?
How can we feel that way, when we know nothing of death ourselves?
All animals fear death, every species wants to live. I don't care how good a life you've lived, if you were given a chance to live while you were on your deathbed, you'd take it. So no one really wants to die.
How could we possibly portray something that frightening, something that no one wants to experience, something that we have no real knowledge of, like we do in movies/ books?
