A question not a challenge not a conflict I'm curious why is death always associated with dark and many cultures and light with life?

I'm not sure it's just a European perspective but rather a perspective that is shared among certain people worldwide
Changing languages in bad and I also suppose it depends on where you are in life you have to be priorities I talk about death and dying a lot now because that's my reality and is that dark people sure tell me it is
I understand that and I felt that way one time but I now have regrets anymore of grand proportions as I knew the end of life there was so many things I would have done differently. And so many things I regret to the core of my soul that I wish I didn't but I do.

I think I am deciding I have to leave it to the other people to decide for themselves and if it's offensive to somebody and they tell me then I will do my best to acknowledge and honor their wishes otherwise it's hard to change after 60 and when you know your time is very limited

People fear death people dying and I don't share those fears I don't have a fear of what's unknown but when I talk about them people get mad at me all the time now but that's where I am and I want to talk about it too so I get what you're saying and I respect that very much
If somebody asks me to respect that I always would do my best to do so absolutely. I'm talking more about context and semantics perhaps and not making myself very clear I'm also not at the beginning or end of a career I'm at the end of life itself and that changes perspective

Again it's hard for me I'm not a designer by trade merely by association with web but I don't believe there's a web anymore really not by the way it was meant to be so is web design a helpful term itself anymore I wonder?
It goes throughout Generations I think and contextual ideas I think we need to look deeper and further into it but it's exclusionary not inclusive and I think that's more the point I'm attempting to make perhaps badly.
I absolutely must agree with that driving to brunch as much Prejudice myself and I think that if people say please don't say that to me that's a very reasonable question and I will do my best to avoid using absolutely
That's hard for me at this age I have a very dark side as so many do and is that really good thing or bad thing it's very ambiguous to me. I do appreciate the challenge I'll think more about it thank you

Thank you so much for the suggestions. I've been deceived enough in my life and I'm not long for it so I have to choose my priorities at this point and deception is definitely not one of them but I do understand that within context it makes sense to so I appreciate the thought

Yes but only in the context of design. What if I said deceptive information it changes the entire conversation
That's a possible thing to achieve but it takes response after response and it takes time but you're right I think there's a lot to what you're saying that's very true and far more in need of depth and time that we let these things steal away from us
I think maybe that had more to do with the culture you were in and what you exposed to. And I also think it goes back far back longer than 50s or 60s in western Society it mostly started with the Greeks

I wouldn't take it I would try to encourage whoever would take it and use it for helping to feed people over hungry or provide shelter for those in need or a warm coat in the winter or a cool place to sleep in the summer social benefits not food porn or selfies or promotion.
You know what comes to mind is the story of Nick Drake how short his life was and yet how much influence he had and how he passed without being remembered by anybody with the exception of a moment of Resurrection for Volkswagen commercial. It's kind of funny and also very sad

It may be where I'm at with age and disability and the decline of ability to use form factors that are available today it's gotten worse for me not better as an adaptive technology. Like I said I'm here for people and for discussions as I work through it so thank you
