Abstract
The contemporary techno-scientific culture has, under other forms, rescued the myth of eternal youth and immortality. It is certain that up to a high middle age, the perception which human beings have of life is that of immortality. It does not cast its eyes on suffering and death. –to the exception of concrete instances, unless it is to lament or contemplate with indifference the death of the “others”. Always it is “other”, the one who dies. And, yet, pain and death accompany all of us, all through our life, in spite the fact that, as far as we are able to, we will try to remove them away from us. We need to “negotiate” pain, and the outlook of death. Religions, -Concretely, Christianity-, perform a necessary and irreplaceable role in favor of the human being which has to face its own limits.
