Russia holds a grave-digging competition, can this be a competition?

This grave digging competition is not about digging up the already buried grave, but about digging a new grave, and it must be dug within 40 minutes. The size of Russian graves has fixed specifications. Digging a large pit with a length, width, and depth of 2 meters, 0.8 meters, and 1.6 meters will definitely take a lot of physical effort. It is also a test of endurance. Digging graves manually instead of using machines may be to give the deceased some last bit of warmth and respect.

Compared with the cremation method practiced in our country, Russia has a large population and few people, and the custom of burial has continued to this day. The funeral industry has always been a job that makes people feel unlucky and timid. It is estimated that few young people are willing to do this job, but there will be brave men under the heavy rewards. The organizers of the competition use the competition to win prizes to attract more people's attention to this work, encourage more young people to join the funeral service industry, and personally feel that there is nothing unusual about improving the quality of funeral services. Three hundred and sixty lines, every line needs people to do it.

All living things slowly move from rebirth to death. This is the only way and the inevitable result. If you look at it openly, there is nothing to be afraid of. Those artistically processed ghost stories in movies and TV are just fabricated and exist to give people a visual sensory stimulation.

Every time when I watch a scary movie or TV show, I will tell my children that this is fake and there is no such thing. Look at how realistic the actors’ makeup is. This technology is simply amazing. So awesome. The child will also follow up and discuss that this may be ketchup or milk, so that she is not so scared.

I once read a piece of news that there is a custom in a place in Indonesia where deceased relatives are dug out during festivals or commemorations, and they are dressed up and dressed like this. way to remember someone who has passed away. This kind of behavior seems so unbelievable and scary to us. People who see this news should really have their knowledge refreshed. In our customs, this approach is disrespectful to the deceased. We insist that the deceased be buried in peace and not disturbed.

People in various countries have different understandings of death. They have completely opposite customs, but there are some similarities. Just like our Tomb-Sweeping Day and the Hungry Ghost Festival on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, we worship our ancestors and burn paper at their graves, both to commemorate our deceased relatives. The Day of the Dead in Mexico is also a holiday to commemorate deceased loved ones. During this festival, a road is paved with flowers and photos of loved ones are placed at home, so that they can walk on the flower road back from the City of the Dead to visit their loved ones. This festival was also made into a touching movie, and we even took our children to see it.

In fact, I think that whether it is the opposite custom or a similar custom, they all want to comfort the living people not to be so afraid of death in this way. As long as you are not so entangled in this matter, activities, stories, competitions, etc. related to this content are all external things and you can deal with them calmly.
