Nadie nace preparado para morir y muy pocas son las personas que finalmente realizan una adecuada preparación. Somos una sociedad que vive de espaldas a la muerte por puro terror. Rehuimos hablar de ella, nos prohibimos reflexionar sobre ella y negamos por sistema su existencia, por si, de esta manera, logramos evitarla.
