I mean, "should"?... I don't know. Death is natural, but so is fear of death and not wanting to bring up topics that disturb you.

Fear of death is natural, completely agree. My point is that demystifying death and talking about it openly can help make it a less disturbing topic.

For instance, both of us in this conversation will die someday. It is a guaranteed fact.

The question then becomes: how do we live our lives well in view of that fact?
