This has been asked on a local FM station.ie "What is more HOSTILE than DEATH" if You have any ideas, p'se reply. I want to win some few hundred dollars pal!
Is death hostile then? It just IS.
What's more friendly than death? With death there's no longer a person. No person, no pain, no problems. Just like before we were born.
Damn, JL, you have a double thumb on it..
Osso, I amputated one of them just to please you.
Plenty of things are more hostile than death. Torture, loss of loved one(s) etc
It's amazing, when we have a question of that kind here on A2K, you can find the same question elsewhere:
What is more hostile than death?
But people don't have a clue, also.

It's a big world. Pretty much every idea or concept we think of has already been conceived.
Actually--and I've said this before somewhere--there is no such thing as a "state of death". There IS dying, but once that has occurred there is no-one who is dead, who "exists" in a state of death. The state of death is a predicate of the subject "dead being." This, of course, is non-sense. There is no such thing as a dead person. The person ceases to exist once the dying process has eliminanted him. "He" exists only as a memory of living beings.
Even the notion of "living being" is problematical. But that's for a different topic. Anticipatory hint: that problem has to do with the concept of "being" (there is only becoming) and "self" (as the delusion: ego).
