Morrie and death

Most Americans are afraid of death for the simple reason that it is unknown territory and we are often afraid of what we can't completely understand. Some believe in a place that you go to after death i.e. heaven (or hell), some believe that you are reborn as another being, and some just don't believe in any sort of life after death at all. For this same reason I believe there is a certain stigma assosciated with talking about death in any way. From a young age we are taught never to talk about money, politics, or religion in a group of people because everyone has their own beliefs about each topic and it's very easy to accuse others of being wrong. I think the topic of death should be added to this list because it is such a taboo. The possibilites of what happens after you die are endless and mind-boggling to even contemplate, and it is for that exact reason that nobody does so.
