Foreword by Laurent Denis
Human beings are plagued by major worries, such as fear of death and fear of illness. “How long will I live?” is a question that arises even in childhood. “Will I one day have to deal with a condition similar to my neighbor’s?”. We live in an age where disease, death, old age and disability are subjects to be avoided in polite conversation. “How are you?” is a standard greeting to which a different and darker reply than the traditional, “I’m very well, thank you, and you?” risks embarrassing or even annoying the other party. Avoiding the problems of others, for fear they may be contagious, gives us a sense of immortality on a daily basis.
This is a rather recent phenomenon, as many previous generations did not hide the elderly or sick, although the risk of accidents in everyday life was higher and so death was a more common occurrence. It was certainly a source of anxiety, but the Church was there to alleviate it. Today we hide this subject by paying attention to a society made up of young, healthy people whom we must emulate at all costs so as to be part of it. Since our days are more or less the same, we succumb to procrastination at the first opportunity and Seneca’s carpe diem loses its wonderful charm to give way to flat Platonic reflection.
