Explain death. Symbolical, mythological, philosophical, theoretical. Rites or customs pertaining to the deceased.

...personal experience.

Something so serious can't be taken so lightly. It's not so easy just to spill things like that.

Quite the morbid topic you've chosen to bring to the community. I can only infer one of two things. Either you are fortunate enough to have never experienced such loss yourself or you are in the rather less fortunate position of having suffered such loss so many times that it has rather lost the weight of emotional impact.

That's a bit of a dark subject.

You're not interested in the biological aspect, then?

Did something happen?

I have no issue discussing it. My main issue is how broad of a subject it is. Perhaps if you narrowed it down a bit?

That could be a way of answering it, I think. Talking about death is to talk about how truly devastating it can be. You know it is, but you don't truly understand until you have experienced it.

Have you not?

Perhaps, but I'm far more interested in exploring the potential psychological imbalances that allow you to broach such a subject from such an objective angle.
makewayforroze: (Sip)

It doesn't seem like a question that one just wonders about.

Very well.

Nowadays, death is considered to occur only when brain activity ceases, although decomposition may begin shortly after the heart stops beating. The draining of the blood quickly results in livor mortis.

Death is not the end. At least, it isn't on my world. The spirits of the dead live on in a place called the Farplane. Ideally, at the very least. Sometimes, they linger, and sometimes, they are changed...

That is to say, here, it's rather complicated.

Then you seek to become a scholar of death, hmm? I'm not sure whether to express concern over such a morbid fascination or congratulate you as a fellow student of the darker sciences - at least, so far as death can be considered a science.

[Not that her particular interests could be considered scientific either]

[personal profile] grimdarkseer 2012-08-28 10:15 am (UTC)(link)
Ah yes, death the great equaliser. Notwithstanding realities where there are means of avoiding a permanent death, of course. Regardless, I cannot say it is a topic of particular interest to me save for my desire to avoid doing so at the mercy of this game.
