Standardized Argument #1.


Okay, I hope this file doesn't take forever to load. I had to scan it in, and the editorial itself was quite large; so I had to make the whole file readable.



STANDARDIZED ARGUMENT #1.

1. To face death with high spirits is tough to do.

2. Death physically surrounds us through lifeless landscape.

2. a. Follows us culturally.

2. a. i. Examples are the War Memorials we have, and the memories of those we keep by our hearts.

3. It’s one thing to accept that death happens, even to ourselves,

3. a. Another thing entirely to comprehend that simply put: after death, we will not exist in this world we call home.

4. Death diminishes this world.

4. a. Older we get, more our world shrinks.

4. a. i. More our level of sadness over those who die, grows.

4. b. Close or distant to us, all death lessens us, and there’s nothing we can do about it.

5. Professionals suggest what the “grieving process” should belike, dividing it mainly into “stages” using a vocabulary filled with “normal” and “healthy”

5. a. This is what could be considered one of the toughest times of a person’s life.

THEREFORE

6. Death it terrible. Period.

7. No matter how prettily we try to colour this picture, the loss of a life is instinctively sad.

7. a. Especially those who are so close to us.
