Technology

This is a weirdly "you should only do things the natural way" comment section for a Tech-based community.

Humans also weren't "meant" to be on social media, or recording videos of themselves, or even building shrines or gravesites for their loved ones. They're just practices that have sprung up as technology and culture change. This very well could be an impediment to her moving on without him, but that's her choice to make, and all this appeal to tradition is patronizing and doesn't actually mean tradition is the right path for any given individual. The only right way to process death is:

• Burn their body and possessions so that no trace remains
• Pump their body full of chemicals so they won't be decomposing when people ceremonially visit their corpse weeks later
• Entomb them with their cats, slaves, and riches
• Plant a tree nourished by their decomposing corpse
• Turn their ashes into a piece of jewelry to be carried with you always
• Make a shrine to the dead in your home to be prayed at regularly
• Cast a death mask to more accurately sculpt their bust
• Freeze their head so they may be resurrected later
