Children and Death
-We fear others' dying because it mirrors the fears and threats we feel in ourselves when we worry aboud ying. It is the attraction of the circus andwatching the acrobat on the flying trapeze perform without a safety net.
- Adolescent risk takin gbehaviour such as driving fast carsa dn taking drugs are death denying rater than death defying. Each success reinforces thier belief in thier immortaility, that they can overcome death, that it does not exist. The sruvival of such behaviours reinforces adolescent belief in thier immortatliy and allows them to continue in thier denial.
"the lot of rationals humans is to face up to the comfortless world as it was, is , and will be"
