A musing

The power of the living dead

Goodbye and the right to be forgotten

If life is a dream ,the death is an awakening isn't it?

The power of the dead on the living has seen us  preserving past monks to state leaders in living corpse that don't decompose according to the laws of nature.

After their death ,the present uses the past to reenact the dead because of their usefulness to remind the present -don't forget the past contributions.Why not judge the present by what they do in the here and now and let sleeping dogs lie.

This fetish  for the living dead dishonours them for they wouldn't let the present change as they are still in the grips of the dead.

If we don't preserve their actual bodies,them we carve and erect statues of them to make sure they are not forgotten.Only humans would do that-for animals accept death as a part of life and let go of the dead to return to ashes and dust. Humans are so a musing..
