I really do not know about how universal

that tangent is. That is Ok Kass:). I guess its 'relevance' is a matter of personal 'tolerance' or 'attraction' to it. If that makes sense. I guess i feel about such as i do about, say, the myriad tattoos that depict skulls. knives, open wounds and that sort of depravity (having 2 lotr's themed tattoos), if i may use that word. If i may, i feel that death may serve as an 'advisor' of sorts, it not to be infused into the fiber of life. The fiber of Life is to be filled with wonder, mystery, awe, beauty and love. Life can be transcendent. Life has risen to the point to reach that potential. So i 'see' things in terms of that 'mode'. Call me a romantic if you will, perhaps that is what i am. So be it:).
