In this world, there are a lot of life as same as death. What is death? If people died, they would where to go? From long time ago, people think about death. Some wants never-die with afraid death, others yearn for death with regard it as mother.
Do you know the word " memento mori"?It means think about death or don't forget death. The thought came in especially the Middle Ages. Almost all of the picture have symbol of death. People have thought death to think and know what the life is. They think their life with say "memento mori", that is don't forget that we will die some day. In mythology, there are some story about death and life. In Japan, IZANAGI has pursued his wife, IZANAMI, to NENO-KUNI, the hell, but he was scared his died wife and escaped from her. There is a mythology like this story in Greece. Orpheus, is minstrel, had pursued his wife, Eurydike to Hades,that is hell, and looked back and couldn't get her back. In Islam, there are angel who likes the Death. It named Azrael, the angel who tells people the death.
Death is difficult theme as much as life. People have thought about it for long long time and they don't get the answer.

In many cultures, death comes as a reward. Whether it means to live in paradise as is the belief in Christianity or to become absorbed into the fabric of the universe as in Buddhism. Tibetan Buddhists have written a treatise called The Tibetan Book of the Dead, which outlines the processes of death and how best to deal with it. But mythology and folklore often speak of escaping death or immortality. It would seem that people still think death is a bridge to nothingness; a loss of personal identity. Do you think myth is a way to calm people's anxiety?
Death is a great mistery. There are many theories about it, as what will happen us after death, but nobody knows the true... it's certain that everybody will die one day....
