IS DEATH A TABOO?

In our culture, Western culture, talking about death is considered a taboo. 

It is absolutely true because when we go down the street and we hear the conversations, people never talk about death. If we analyze our discurses we will see that never speak about it or we avoid talking about death. 

I strongly believe that death is considered unpleasant, bitter and especially painful. People know that they must die but do not want to think, try to forget it and try to live as if death does not exist. It is very painful to lose someone that we love. 

Another reason is that everyone is born knowing that someday will die, it is a natural fact. Personally I think that we, all the people in general, do not speak about death because we fear it. We are afraid of death because we do not now what we will find after it. Many people have talked about it and have elaborated theories, but they have been not confirmed. 

It is clear that causes us a sense of uncertainty. We do not know what will happen when we die and that disturbs us. In addition, it makes us afraid and respect it. Not only that, death causes a lot of pain for people who suffer the death of an acquaintance. But certainly, an undeniable fact is that we will die one day.
