The Normal Attitude Toward Death.

The normal attitude of men toward
death seems to be one of inattention
or evasion. They do not trouble about
It: they do not want TO trouble about
II. and they resent its being called to
their notice On this point the late
Frederick Myers used to tell story
which | have always thought very IL
Eliminating In conversation after din
ner he was pressing on his host the
unwelcome question what he thought
would happen after death. After
many evasions and much recalcftrancy
the reluctant admission was extorted,
"Of course, if you press me | believe
that we shall all enter into eternal
bliss, but / wish you wouldn't talk
about such disagreeable subjects"
This believe is typical of the normal
mood Of most men. They don't want
to be worried, and though probably, II
the question were pressed, they would
object to the idea of extinction, they
can hardly be said to desire immortal
ity. Even at the point of death, it
would seem. this attitude is often
maintained-G Loves Dickinson In
