One is not merely rushing in where even angels fear to tread. One knows that death is scary. Just read my reflection :


Thank you. 
Sincerely, 
Obododimma.

thanks for this Obododimma 

''Generally, to think of death as a tangible thing that can die or can be tied up would be considered the work of cheap fantasy. Maybe myth and folktales would tell that, but it is quite distant and unbelievable. In recent scholarship, there has been an attempt by Oluwatoyin Vincent Adepoju to discuss "Immortality of Self in Upanishadic, Orisa/Ifa, AMORC and Adinkra Thought," on USAAfricaDialogue, a listserv moderated by Toyin Falola. This is an interesting exploration and one is waiting for further installments of the piece, so as to learn more about the subject.''

  I wonder what more i could write on this
