Death comes soon (for English speaking people).

Sometimes, I do not know how many times happen, someone young dies (  What young means has not be defined yet or  has very wide margins), someone dies suddenly. Others do it in what it is called the fullness of life, which is not very clear to me, because I do not know when the fullness is reached, if it is reached; it is not like climbing the Alpe d'Huez in a time trial.  
The truth is it is occurring and such tragedies of this type occur in the same family or are repeated from generation to generation and it is called a curse. And the death has always seen as a curse.

In the Scorsese's film "the last temptation of Christ", not exactly in Kazantzakis' novel , the Zealots eventually kill Lazarus and he dies stabbed a second time. It seems to be an uncomfortable witness, for political reasons. But Lazarus did play a very important role, practically nothing.  
When Lazarus was asked what has he seen. How is to be dead? His answer: death is the same as life, and he does not appreciate the difference. May be it was this way or he did not remember much. 
Keepsakes, interpretation of images, are the components of our opinions, our visions, that with our way of explaining them constitute our statement of facts. Lazarus must have been confused, because if you experiments a faint and get numb we will have to see what it will be returning to the world of the living after four days dead. When Thomas was told, for his nature he was one that suggested going to see what happened and then it was late and he could not believe the incredible. Because he did not live in confusing images or distorted memories, like most he only believed what he saw with his own eyes. To believe that someone returns from death and resurrected himself from the dead is very strong   And what happens if it is true? Well if the truth means that the subject is God, omnipotent, and then death is defeated and everything has a different perspective.
