And to mourn over the birth of a baby?
they have to accept it as a part of life and to stop thinking of it as a final end but as a new beginning. the only people who mourn the birth of babies are those that know that the baby has no future. most do. babies are promises of a continuation of life. they are as part of the cycle of life as death. both should be celebrated. mourning has it’s place because there will always be loss in this world. death is a sort of loss that tends to hit us the hardest. it is a rather finite thing. you can never go back or undo it. or even change paths later after you found out how wrong you were. it is final in a way. so grieve your friends and family, there is nothing wrong with grief or mourning. it is also a part of life. the acceptance of loss and the joy of a new life. we humans are complicated enough to feel more than one emotion at one time. we can feel sad as we feel happy. contradiction yes, but also true. we are happy for them, sad for ourselves.

death is not a merry thing. you have to allow yourself to grieve and then to move forward.

Celebrate the time you had with them, rather than the time you won’t have. Be glad you knew that person, however long or short that time might have been.

Having fun?
To celebrate a death, the survivors must believe the one who died is going to a better place.
To mourn a birth? Easy. No person in their right mind would bring a child into the reality we currently inhabit. Minimum wage, crashed economy, global warming, terrorism, globalization, and a general degradation of life values everywhere. For so many folk, the next joint, the next (sexual congress), the next paycheck is all that they can grasp in their minds, not to mention the next meal. I mourn every child born in the past sixty years.

Learn to take joy in knowing that the older generations are no longer there to hold you back from the risks you must take which will help dictate when you shall also be felled by the sword of fate.

Reincarnation can help to re-think it but I will always be sad for awhile at the loss of a needed presence. The second part should not be addressed yet.
