In some cultures of the world,for example in Ireland,children are obliged to attend funerals and once the serviceis over they hold a wake in which they go to a pub,some。times get drunk,to honor their dead.They celebrate whatthat person used to be.We should not necessarily considerthis as a perfect example to follow but yes,as a good way ofmaking people aware of reality.We could adopt Hamlet'sbelief."‘There is nothing either good or bad but thinkingmakesft so.We have the free will to face life and deathwith courage.If we are brave and smart enough to progressin certain areas of knowledge,then we should be brave aswell to face death.Shakespeare reminds US that we only fearit because it’S our thinking which makes it so.
This change we want to accomplish cannot be achieved without making an effort.We must make the effort of willto assure that the learning iS transmitted.We could adoptthe ideas of old thinkers,which we are all very familiar with,because they were the ones who'd thought of the importantideas which are so relevant to our lives.Unfortunately we haven’t had enough time,only two thousand years,to putthese ideas into practice.
