It is the life cycle.
Every philosophical tradition grapples with that fact.
It's the fact of life and evolution and the universe is things are born and they grow and they die.
80% of us will watch someone die
who is too young, like my brother.
And in the West, it's now just commonplace to say like other cultures, Day of the Dead ceremonies, Irish wakes, taking care of the body in Tibetan traditions.
I mean, they have these rich rituals around us.
And in the West, in the United States, it's like,
The person's in a hospital bed.
The room sucks.
It's horrible.
You don't know what to do.
And then it's over.

Younger brother, and he got colon cancer.
