Bury this!
Burial: In the simplest terms, it is the act of placing a dead person in the ground. The remains have no further use - so we bury them. Oh, don't turn me off yet, thinking this is going to be some morbid and disgusting topic dealing with physical death. I want us to look at burial in the sense of some of the "stuff" we actually might do well burying! There were customs of burial dating back something like 130,000 years ago, so this idea of "burying" the dead has quite a long history. One of the reasons some think burial came about was to attempt to bring "closure". It was a way of bringing an end to something. There is more to this burial thing than just the placing of someone's physical remains into a tomb or a grave. In fact, we might just find something of value in considering just what gets buried and why! So don’t you see that we don’t owe this old do-it-yourself life one red cent. There’s nothing in it for us, nothing at all....
