Death denies progress It would be logical that we édifiions our cemeteries near hospitals now because everyone or almost died there. This humanize the hospital. Nothing more clearly inhumane and stressful that all white, these machines scattered intact and loneliness of old, crumbling, neglected and forgotten among the gestures and speech professionals. The modern hospital is the contradiction of all mankind, which is not surprising, since everything besides technological progress is a decline, from a moral and human. The relentlessness that puts the practitioner even save the patient has something sadistic. With the cemetery next door we would not go to the hospital with the wild hope of escape. It might sound silly but it is often the hope that makes unhappy. Only with the proximity of death that may allay the fear. We should neither fear nor pretend to ignore it but that's what we do.
In some ways, progress is a deliberate but a mistake to fight against death. Could no longer contain this fear inside of us, by the concentration, we deport them and clothe a thousand edges, thus becoming weaker, more restless, more unhappy and anxious to get lost. The idea of progress is related to the retraction of the presence of death, which was true when small cemeteries adjacent to the church when the man felt vulnerable to the disease and nature, when it was set some part in nature and irrevocably bound to the earth. It is likely that the transition from a peasant society to a technology-based company signed his death warrant moral and spiritual. Which one can say that his work has a meaning when no one is attached to land, when the farmers themselves do not touch it and put more of milking the cows' udders rather than deal with it? Only the land in which we bury strengthens our own frailty, forget the earth is like flying away and disappearing.
