I'm headed to Bruce's viewing. It's sad to me that people treat death with mourning, instead of with celebration for that persons life. The Druid's Halloween (no, it's not a Christian holiday, and neither is Easter), the Mexican "Dia de los Muertos" --Day of the Dead, and so many other cultures celebrate the life and death as a secular event, Some believe death is not related to any religion, it is instead, related to life on this planet. (I kind of like the Druids way of thinking).
But if people actually believed the dead have gone to a better place...shouldn't they be celebrating...or is the crying and mourning a selfish act?
