What can be done to the man the fear of death? It's a paralyzing feeling that can deprive anyone of their mind. The largest citadel of the Western hemisphere, equipped with 365 guns-La Ferriere in Haiti-was built by king Henri Christophe because of the fear of the French invasion.

Death has become a taboo in the civilized world, a taboo subject, which is to say also shame, and personal failure.

Indeed, although there are many arguments in favour of materialistic teachings about the world, one cannot deny the manifestations of the higher forces that have been encountered throughout history. Who knows, why invented this game entitled "life", and who in fact its the author? Perhaps the religions of peace are not just opium for the people, but a proven way for thousands of years to find peace in the face of circumstances beyond their control.
