  “You’re not meant to think about it, it’s entertaining :D” when I was 14 I saw Corpse Bride and I was so terrified that life after death was just that small place, and you just live forever if you can’t move on. I had a major depressive episode after that lol.

  Ah yes, my favourite genre of fiction. Tiny girl, unimaginable terrors.

  The way I prefer to use that phrase is: &quot;Mememto Mori, Memento Vivi.&quot; &quot;Remember that you will die, don&apos;t forget to live.&quot;

  Dang, I expected the infinite black desert of Terry Pratchett&apos;s death to be here. The place where you go when you don&apos;t know where you&apos;ll go, that is.

  In finnish folklore, the realm of the dead was more or less literally the same as the real one, just underground so everything was bit darker. Later/in other parts it was considered as a place where you went to sleep, after the hard work of being alive, which might be the reason for the finnish saying &quot;death pays back/fixes your sleep debts&quot; (kuolema korjaa univelat)<br><br>...this paints Finland as a super thrilling place, I know.

  &quot;The Good Place&quot; is another interesting take on the world of the dead, running into the abstract problems of dealing with eternity and having literal discussions about the philosophies on life and death.

  People have told me that here in Mexico we&apos;re obsessed with death, and I gotta say yeah! I never thought about it until people told me but that&apos;s basically what Dia de los Muertos is. You shouldn&apos;t crave for death, don&apos;t get me wrong, you should live as long as possible, but don&apos;t be afraid when the time comes. It&apos;s part of life after all

  I really do think that more authors/film writers should use a concept like this a lot more, it&apos;s just so damn interesting to explore, and the creativity that could unfold would be really interesting.

  If death has jobs and rent, I think I&apos;ll pass, thanks.
