I'd offer my sympathies, but they'll probably ring hollow. Still...Lost cultures genuinely break my heart a little. So much lost, even if to uphold tradition can be more bad than good.

Having death so prominent in any culture, however, isn't so strange. Sad, perhaps, but not uncommon. I hope that living somewhere that doesn't require it to be the forefront can allow you to experience life at a slower rate, and see the beauty in the things around us. At any rate, you're right about death and fate; fate ends in death for the majority, it just conducts the in-between as well. But different perspectives will see it as they will, of course; people see it as a chain, as a burden, and I see it as comforting and necessary.
