Freeing, freedom and death

Jakov Jukić

Abstract

In our time everyone is concerned with the idea of setting himself
free from somebody or something. This freeing enthusiasm is, there-
fore, highly esteemed. Unfortunately, behind the promise of complete
freeing there often exists just the freedom ideology and the non-free-
dom reality. General freeing is mostly opposed by the reality of death.
From this aspect there arise in a modem man four attitudes towards
death: nonmentioning the death; banishing death from life by expell-
ing it into old people's homes; accepting death as illness; considering
the deed of dying as a private affair. In conclusion, a Christian stand-
point regarding freeing, freedom and death has been presented.
