Corpses

Death is an overrated subject;
we're always faced with death, and for some reason we never really face it.
I understand the part where we fear the unknown aspect of death, but death in itself is the most common, most "normal" thing that happens in the world.We acknowledge that it's normal and common, but still, it bothers us to see a dead person for example... why? Haven't we seen dead things before?

Never killed a cockroach and had to deal with his corpse perhaps..? ...a pile of dead ants; ones that have drowned in water..? ... a dead bird or a dead bee stranded on your balconies?
Still.. to you, it's different if i say a corpse of a cat in the streets, run over by a fast passing car.... Or worse, a corpse of dog in the streets... Or even worse, a corpse of a human in the streets say...
We mind the concept, we don't really accept it as much as we should... Although we find no difficulty accepting million of small creature's corpses, it seems, the bigger the animal is in size, the harder it gets for us to perceive any corpse as just a corpse... or it being a very basic and normal thing...

What i would really enjoy pointing out here, is that corpses are all around us; we live in them, we use them everyday.. we wear them, we do all sorts of things with corpses, but it's Okay! because we quit seeing them as corpses, and we found a different way to cope with that reality without having to call it a dead creature's body...

"Wood" is what we call the material of which trees are composed of, but if we were to call it dead tree, we wouldn't find it this easy to want to make so many things we use daily out of it... In fact, the tree that was once alive, got killed, and her body was then taken somewhere to get crafted by someone, to becomes your home decorating corpse. You sit on it, and sleep on it everyday.. you touch corpses everyday..!
But can you use a person's corpse to make yourself a comfy couch? Can you see and use and touch a person's corpse everyday? have it in your home..?

Or flowers... the so considered gesture of complete romanticism; when one gives a dead flower or a bunch of dead flowers to another, and the other then plunges their face in these corpses, smelling them, in complete euphoria , for receiving such a gift as dead bodies.. maybe even decides to keep them for a while (But in water!) in a vase in the middle of their homes.
And to me.. this is the weirdest thing in the entire world..it's like having a human corpse in an open box in the middle of your living room, for decoration.. and you keep feeding it to try and make it last the way it looks like, for as long as you possibly can... before it rots..

I find it inconvenient that you would enjoy a flower's corpse in a vase, and still would not be comfortable dealing with the corpse of a creature of your own kind...
And i think we should all just snap out of it really..

If you've been given a flower before, and you have enjoyed it, if you have wood in your house and it feels normal to you.. then you really shouldn't have a problem doing the same to a human, or else... this is complete hypocrisy...
