"Setting the body on fire may be a little melodramatic, but then again, so am I. Why should I be permanently muted once I’m gone — while I still have a mouth on my face."
This topic burns me up. But you have come to a beautiful solution. The truth is, when we die, after our kids and grandkids are gone, few if any will remember us or visit our graves, so lying in a lonely box in the ground doesn't appeal to me. I'm with you -- let's cut out the middleman and get right to the "dust" part.
Ashes are a fertilizer. Yes even cigarette ashes. You should not waste it by letting it dissolve in water. I'm not going to tell you why cuz you'll think I'm insane and I don't hallucinate, but I'm pretty sure your essence leaves the body immediately and even hangs for a short time after the cremation. I think what doesn't happen immediately is your energy changing form. I don't care what Judaism says about cremation. I'm taking that road. What does matter to me about Judaism is it better be done within 2 days
Very entertaining. Great job, Michael.
wonderful and funny and revealing. Once i went to a dictionary to find the word didactic, I had a great read!
Thanks, Bar!!
