The Return of Mister Dead

[ornoth]

Death is guaranteed. There are no exceptions. Given that, you’d think it’d be something we’d run into from time to time. Buddhists often seek out the experience of being with a corpse, to fully appreciate the idea that we, like everything else, are impermanent. But in nearly half a century, I’ve never in my life seen a dead human body. Have you? Bodies covered by sheets don’t count.

In or out of a funeral home? "In the flesh", or in movies/TV/photographs? Do museum mummies count?
