Like everyone with a rational soul, I don't believe in ghosts or any form of ghosts.
And if I ever turned the tables once in my life, the reason for it was only the good company, full of life, that stood around it.

What can we say about what they leave behind, and which to get rid of would be to inflict a second death on them, what we are leaving, will leave behind, with both feet in the grave, and to which we were so attached, that we had sometimes had so much difficulty in acquiring, at the cost of what efforts, of what sacrifices?
