I have no idea, what you saying. Cemetery is symbol of the end of human life. Period, end of sentence and discussion.
Ah, you meant - enters MY head? I see. Well, can't help with that. What enters then? Death is PRESENT there. I am curious now.

I can't answer your question as it would involve using my own opinion and thoughts and you have already declared that your opinion is the final and only opinion on this subject
Ukrkoz did not ask you any questions. He is responding to your typo post. And it refers to nothing from your above post. You really have trouble understanding. Are you French?

None of your business if I'm French or anything else.
Speaking of technology.
Apparently, there are multiples apps reminding one of death. Ping of Death one of them. That should either turn you contemplative - or into debauchery. If I spelled it right, damn iPad is beyond me with this.
Yes, I am officially curiously what thoughts enter your mind when at cemetery.
Though, it appears you already chose to not have any thoughts while there. Pity.
I think of the time frame they lived. They lived a whole life. Maybe unlike like anything I can imagine. I think wow, even for a moment, I read their name, they are somebody.

I think of the beauty and the history within those places. I believe that cemetaries are constructed for the living as a place to go to remember those who have died. As a sort of library of who lived in that community and a history of epidemics, ship wrecks wars and how much tougher it was to survive in the past.
The only time that I think of death is when reading headstones of infants or really old people. I might try to think of the period in time that person lived, during the Napoleon wars, the Spanish flu, Queen Elizabeth I period and so forth.
I simply do not view them as a place for the dead or think of death to much while in them. I also look at the amount of chemical weathering of the stones, especially when visiting old ones right next to the ocean on how salt spray has impacted the stones. I thing of many thoughts when I enter a cemetery but death is not on of them.
I also think that just because we have polar opposite views about cemetaries does no mean one of us is right or have a better opinion of them. Just different experiences and beliefs.
I guess what I was correct about though was your previous post did contain that question.
Thanks for your interest in my view on cemetaries.

Truth be told, I also think what a waste of land.
Ah, I see. It’s still meditative and contemplative, isn’t it?

Most interesting.
Walking in the shrine of Death and not thinking about it.
I am sort of envious.
And a reminder that every day above ground is precious.
