We generally see death as the end today, but that was not always the case.

We have a clue in the modern celebration of Halloween. Originally the celebration of Samhain. It marked the last day of the old year rolling into the first day of the new year.

The first day of winter was the start of the cycle, they saw death coming before life, death brings life and is the beginning. Not as we see it now, life before death and death is the end.

An refreshing perspective imo
