Amen. Based on the concept of perceptive reality, a living can only perceive another is dead but can never prove the existence of death by and to himself. To prove to oneself that death exist requires one to become dead and return to life with the facts of death. The reason one is unable to accomplish such could simply mean that there is no such thing as death, except our perception of it. Simply stated, death symbolizes any kind of loss. It could be as physical loss of a love one, relative, friend or a more profound loss as that of enthusiasm, rationality, will, self-esteem, respect, dignity, value etc., which ironically is the greater evil than the perception of death itself.
