Does Western society need a healthier dialouge/discourse regarding our relation with death/mortality?

Theres this recurring thought of mine,that what if death isnt as big of a deal as we make it out to be and it was just a control mechanism to keep us enslaved to priotise safety and comfort over freedom and self actualisation?

Yes fearing death is a primitive/innate behaviour to some extent I feel like it is weaponized quite a bit by society.

Makes sense as when someone threatens suicide they try and stop them!!

Seems like about 1945 was when the value of a life started to become exaggerated. Draw your own inference.

Yes indeed Jimmy!!

I think it is a ego/vanity thing. Afterall, WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE MORE IMPORTANT, than my life?

All these delusional Americans believe that.
