"The Mexican seeks for, strokes, teases, celebrates the death, sleeps with him. Perhaps he is tormented by the fear of him like the others, but he does not hide from him or conceals him. With patience, contempt or irony he looks him straight in the face."
- Octavio Paz
The avoidance of death and its prevalence as a taboo subject in America is very problematic. We are born, we die - this is life - bot merely living but the whole thing.
