Spiritually speaking Has the love for money and Love of our system of Capitalism caused?

For the most part yes, we spend too much for funerals. I like what a friend of mine did. When he was diagnosed with terminal cancer he made his own funeral and wake arrangements.

He arranged to be cremated and was displayed in the cremation cardboard coffin at the funeral. Also for the funeral he made sure there were plenty of Sharpie markers on hand and let people know he wanted them to decorate the coffin with messages, pictures, whatever they wanted. Many of his ashes were distributed to his friends in empty mini-bottles of Hot Damn!

Cinnamon schnapps, the rest another friend and I scattered around his favorite place.

It is a con that is the last effort for a greedy person to make money off the dead. Paying 4 to 10 thousand for a box, is a crime. Paying $1800 for my wife's cremation was outrageous too, since the fuel to do so isn't that expense.

Unless you consider the paper box that they put her ashes in is worth that...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
